NS Indoor Soccer






PARTICIPATION and sportsmanship, that was what it was all about last weekend as the North Shore Indoor Soccer Tournament took place at various North Van schools. Lots of girls, and even some boys, teamed up to play for fun at locations like Balmoral school. Teams came from North and West Vancouver and beyond, but everyone pitched in to make the event happen taking on duties like scorekeeping and set-up. In the end, all the young athletes received a medal, proving once again that it's not whether you win or lose, but only that you PLAY the game.
