Forest Terrace Heights Community League

I need to let you all know about the Paul Johnson Soccer Festival or sometimes called the PJ Tournament or even the PJT.  It is a 27 year old festival that celebrates soccer in our zone.  Every mini team (U6-U12) in the South East zone is invited. 

The format is that the festival takes place the Father Day weekend mainly at Kenilworth community league.  You may or may not have been aware that the season is broke up into 3 rounds.  The second was just completed and for most of you (not U6) you were re-tiered into a more appropriate tier based on your record.  The record from the main round is used to form the tiering for the Paul Johnson Round.  We still do not crown, but I aim to set teams up against each other that make as even a game as possible; I love ties.

While the season is in full swing, games are being played, refs are plying their trade, and adults are discovering the positives and negatives of being "soccer parents".  Someone once said that soccer is the most expensive game to put your kids in because it costs $100 for the game, $50 for the shoes and $30,000 for the minivan.  We do love it though.

I have discovered that this beautiful game is being driven by wonderful volunteers.  This is front line folks like the coaches who spend evenings searching the internet for worthwhile drills to back room folks that drive late at night to drop off a form so that a kid will not miss one extra game.
