The Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge is a competition designed for players to demonstrate the most basic soccer skill – the penalty kick. Open to all boys and girls in our community, ages 9-14, where each player is allowed 15 shots at the goal from the penalty line (12 yards from the goal). Winners progress to the district, diocesan/regional, state and international levels. If a winner is unavailable to participate, the second place finisher advances.
The St. Joseph Council has conducted the events since 2008 in High Bridge, partnering with the High Bridge Youth Soccer organization.
