US Youth Soccer announced last month a new partnership with Keeper Wars INK. They will run their Keeper Wars 2021 National Championships on July 24th and 25th, 2021 at Premier Sports Campus in the Bradenton-Sarasota Area. This location is also serving as host for the 2021 US Youth Soccer National Championships.
The Keeper Wars National Championships will kick off Friday night with an Opening Ceremony, player festivities as well as a professional keeper meet-and-greet! With fifteen (15) National Qualifying events nearly complete, all first-place winners of their specific age/gender bracket qualify for the National Championships. Each age/gender bracket of 16 - 24 keepers will allow for up to 240 competitors to challenge themselves against the top keepers from across the country.
“We are excited to be working alongside our friends at Keeper Wars Ink during our Championship event,” said USYS CEO Skip Gilbert. “As a former keeper myself, I’m excited to see the level of competition as they battle for the Championship.

Sophia Bonilla from the Jackson Hole Youth Soccer Club is in the spotlight for the month of May!
Sophia is one of those very special players who can easily able to play any position on the field - with one exception - she does not play goalkeeper!
Sophia is ten years old, and has been playing soccer since she was only four. She loved it from the onset, and has never looked back. While she has not yet had the opportunity to play with other teams and is not yet old enough to referee, she is ready and willing whenever the chance comes!
In addition to her love and passion for soccer, Sophia is a very busy young lady. She thoroughly enjoys snowboarding, hiking, snowmobiling and sledding (we think she lives in the best place on Earth to enjoy all of those activities!). Sophia also loves riding her bike and can even pop a wheelie. She is a sucker for some good Mexican food and loves to read. Her favorite book is, Estrella en el Bosque, translation: Star in the Forest.
Her coach, Megan Gerety, has coached Sophia for several years now, and says, "Sophia absolutely loves soccer! Her positive attitude and passion for the sport makes her a joy to coach." Those who watch her play feel the same way - she is always smiling, keeps her head up with a positive attitude, leads her teammates and has a lot of fun on and off the field.
Wyoming Soccer is thrilled to honor Sophia, and we want to hear more about players like her. Remember, the player spotlight can highlight achievement in any area, whether it's soccer, academics, community, or attitude. Please share your kids with us!
