One of the Future Soccer Players of America season is coming to an end, but it won’t be long before they go back to the field.
Kinder and first grade students with Los Fresnos Youth Soccer Club ended the 2018 season at the community park off north Arroyo Boulevard.
Eight boys and girls teams have been playing against each other since March. Each game is divided into four eight minutes quarters and all the participants attend the Los Fresnos school district.
On one of the last games of the season, an all- boy team called The Avengers played against The Queens and it ended with the girls winning five goals to one.
The Queens soccer player attempt to get around Jorge Velez with The Avengers.
Jhovanna De La Fuente, who attends Dora Romero Elementary, played for the first time with The Queens, while Leo Perez, who goes to Villarreal Elementary, did the same.
The two soccer players ran back and forth during the game either trying to stop their opponents from scoring or defending the areas around the goalies.
Veronica Velez and her parents, Richard and Sylvia Pinon, had been attending the games to watch Velez’s son Jorge.
According to Gabriel Salas, father of another boy, said the soccer season gives children something to do and prepare them for the future as some of them could choose soccer as their careers.
