The fourth annual Elks’ Soccer Shoot will take place at Plym Park on Saturday.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. and run through noon.

The Elks Soccer Shoot program consists of two separate contests for different age groups.

The contests test levels of soccer goal kicking skills.

The five goal contest is for boys and girls ages 4-9.

It consists of a series of five goals, decreasing in size from 48 inches to 17 inches.

The age groups that use these goals are divided into two categories – U-8 is for all ages four to seven, and the U-10 group is for ages eight and nine.

Boys and girls shoot separately.

The U-8 contestants kick from 15 feet from the face of the goal, while the U-10 contestants kick from 18 feet from the goal.

The grid goal contest is for boys and girls ages 10-13.

It consists of a full-size goal sectioned off so points can be scored when the ball is kicked into certain sections.

The age groups that use this goal are U-12, which is for ages 10 and 11, and U-14, which is for ages 12 and 13.

Again, boys and girls shoot separately.

All entrants will receive a participation award.

Medals will be given in each category for first, second and third place (girls and boys awarded separately).

A lunch will be provided by the Elks for all participants immediately following the contest. Medals will be presented at the Elk’s Lodge during the lunch.

There is no entry fee for participation. All Michigan residents that fall within the specified age groups are encouraged to attend.
