Youth soccer is officially back ! Sixty teams from North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia participated in the first annual Coast Pre Season Classic at beautiful North Myrtle Beach Sports Park over the weekend. “The soccer was very good however what stood out to us was the level of cooperation and patience shown by everyone involved. In the new COVID world that we live in we were very pleased to see the parents, coaches, players, referees, vendors, city employees and Coast FA staff all working in harmony to host the event. The overwhelming majority of people seemed genuinely happy to be playing soccer and viewed the mask requirements as a small price to pay to get the kids back on the pitch . Coast FA teams showed very well at the tournament with three championships and four finalist placements “ said Coast Director Heyward Gulledge.
