Soccer and baseball join for gala – full day of events to wrap up the season The Shelburne Soccer club and Shelburne Minor Baseball joined together for a final fun day of sports and championships during a day long outdoor gala held ad Hyland Park in Shelburne. Teams from tiny Timbits players to the senior athletes gathered for last day of club activities to mark the end of the season. “We do this every year with our annual soccer gala day,” said Nikki Williams, Shelburne Soccer Club Secretary and Fundraising Sponsorship co-ordinator. “This year we got together with Shelburne Minor Baseball. We had kids from ages three up to 14 participating.” Around 400 kids in total turned out for the event along with parents and family members. Soccer teams were represented by around 300 players with around 100 baseball players taking part on the park's diamonds. While the soccer teams don't generally keep score during the regular season, the final day gives the players a chance to show off the skills they learned through the summer with a championship day were scores count and each division has a final winner. “We have champions in each division at the end of the day,” Williams said, “And we have lots of smiles.” There was a play area with activities for the kids to keep them busy between games. A unique feature of the Shelburne club is the referees at the kids games are also young people themselves who have been certified to manage a game and do a fantastic job working with the younger players. The gala provided a good ending to an exciting season. By Brian Lockhart |
