For the 8th year, Heritage Day’s festivities on the field will include the popular “Soccer Challenge”.
The Southborough chapter of The Knights of Columbus hosts the annual free competition for kids and teens.
The competition will run from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm on Monday, October 14th.
Anyone aged 6-16 is welcome to shoot penalty shots on St. Mark’s field. Participation, as always, is free for all!
As usual, players are allowed to take 10 shots at the goal from the penalty line (12 yards from the goal).
The goal is divided into scoring zones. The upper corners of the goal are designated as 20 point zones. The lower corners are 10 point zones and the central region is a five point zone.
Medals will be awarded for high scoring participants.
