Pottsgrove Youth Soccer Launches

Posted on 07 September 2008. Tags: , , , , , , , ,

It was a late but nonetheless busy weekend for young soccer players in Lower, Upper and West Pottsgrove PA townships, as the Pottsgrove Soccer Club got its fall season under way today. Tropical Storm Hanna soaked the fields and limited play Saturday at 31-acre Gerald Richards Park on Buchert Road in Sanatoga. But hundreds of youths and their parents, other relatives and friends crowded onto fields this afternoon to participate in or watch the action. (See video above).

Casual clothing, lawn chairs, and oversize bottles of sports drink were the order of the day. Temperatures reached into the high 70s and low 80s by 2 p.m., accompanied by a light, 6-miles-per-hour breeze from the west. The sun was bright, skies were nearly cloudless, and fans were loud in cheering on PeeWee teams (age 4 and older) as they gave their all.

Who won? Everybody.
