Sanford Soccer needs your help! After having to make the hard decision to cancel last year’s season due to the pandemic, they are in high hopes of being able to have a Spring and Fall season in 2021. They need board members, coaches, and other volunteers to make it happen. The soccer facilities here are some of the best in the state, and they host the largest travel team tournament in Maine. Sanford Soccer offers programs for kids ages 4 to 13. With your help, this 30+ year old organization will continue to do so for many more years. Email Michael Hludik at Mychael93@gmail.com to find out more.
