Youth between the ages of 9 and 14 will be seeing how well they can kick today, a soccer ball that is.

The Knights of Columbus are hosting a Soccer Challenge competition this afternoon in the empty lot south of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.  Kids will have the chance to kick 15 shots from the 12-yard penalty line, with a point awarded for each goal.

Contest winners will receive prizes and have the chance to move on to the district, regional, state and international levels.

It takes place from 1-4pm and there’s no cost to participate.
