The East Bay soccer community was out in full force on Oct. 8, when the 911±¬ÁÏÍøState East Bay men and women's soccer teams hosted Youth Soccer Day during their CCAA doubleheader with 911±¬ÁÏÍøState Stanislaus at Pioneer Stadium. More than 300 youth soccer players representing 48 teams from the local community were on hand to cheer on the Pioneers and connect with 911±¬ÁÏÍøState East Bay players and coaches.
“My goals were to have the youth teams be a part of a great experience, have the players create lasting memories form their interaction with our East Bay teams and for families to have a positive experience with the university and the athletics department,” Marketing Coordinator and event organizer Tenaya Davis said. “We met those goals and the event was better than I ever expected. The youth players, coaches and families were a pleasure to have and I think we made a big step towards taking Pioneer Athletics to the next level.”
