SUMMER SOCCER LEAGUE
Reaching the kids and youth through soccer league
Vickery Summer Soccer Volunteers
The Vickery summer league is one of the most anticipated kids and youth recreational league in Vickery Meadows. It is a unique league that allows kids and youth, from different parts of the world, to form their own teams to compete against each other.
Since 2008, we have been enjoying our own mini-world cup! It is exciting to watch different teams from different ethnic groups playing against each other. We have kids and youth from Afghanistan, Bosnia, Bhutan, Burma/Myanmar, Burundi, Congo, Ethiopia, Iraq, Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, and Tanzania. Once a year, all of them converge to play soccer.
It is our desire to share the love of Christ through our volunteers from the different churches and organizations in the community.
MISSION
To create a fun, safe, and encouraging environment for the refugee and inner-city kids at Vickery Meadows to make a big impact in their lives.
Volunteering
Everyone is welcome to volunteer with us during the summer. Knowledge or experience of soccer is not necessary to volunteer. There are many ways that a volunteer can do without knowing soccer. Our summer soccer league is a seven Saturdays event, starting in the last week of June and ending in the second week of August of each year. A month prior to the starting date of our summer soccer league, volunteers can sign-up through our online form. Volunteers can sign up on which Saturdays they can serve with us.
