When the referees whistles blow at 12:30 pm this Sunday, Sept. 12 at North Vidinha Fields, Kaua‘i Soccer Association (KSA) officially opens their 2004 Fall 7-A-Side Season. Playing on field #1 will be the exciting U-8’s and U-10’s, the action of U-12’s on field #2, and field #3 GU-14’s, BU-16’s and GU-16/18.
In it’s second year, 21 teams will play for 8 weeks in a standing season, then move into playoffs vying to be the two top teams in the respective divisions to play for championship on Nov. 12.
