Cougars Celebrate Youth Soccer Month This Thursday

PROVO -- The No. 10 BYU Cougars are teaming up with the Utah Youth Soccer Association this Thursday, Sep. 9, to celebrate Youth Soccer Month with their game against LSU at 7 p.m. on South Field.

The event begins with a FREE CLINIC from 5:30-6:30 at Haws Field (west of Indoor Practice Facility). All youth ages 4-18 are admitted to the clinic, run by Utah Youth Soccer coaches and professional soccer players. The first 200 youth are admitted for FREE to the BYU vs LSU game at 7 p.m. All youth wearing a UYSA jersey are admitted for $1.

Bring the whole family, for prizes, halftime contests and food during the game.

Youth Soccer Month is dedicated to increasing awareness of the benefits of playing youth soccer in America. The Cougars are proud to support this effort and further the work of the Utah Youth Soccer Association.

BYU recognizes that soccer is not only the No. 1 youth participation sport in America, it’s also the top pick for youth sports in Utah as it helps kids live a healthier lifestyle. Soccer brings together kids and families of all ages for fun and fitness.

More than 19 million children throughout America, between the ages of five and 19, are participating in soccer regularly and over 40,000 players between four and 19 participate with youth soccer in Utah, alone, each year.

The Utah Youth Soccer Association is the largest youth soccer organization in Utah and is the state’s affiliate for US Youth Soccer. For more information on Utah Youth Soccer, visit here and for information about Youth Soccer Month visit here.
