The St. Louis Scott Gallagher Soccer Club recently concluded one of the most successful seasons in its 40-year history. Four boys’ and two girls’ teams qualified for national tournaments. The club was well represented throughout the various levels of national youth soccer.
The Soccer Park has recently been renovated with new turf on its main field, new turf on a side field, a new digital score board and the construction of a Performance Training Center. Admission for the game will be $5 per car and proceeds from this revenue will go to the game’s charity partners listed below.
The game will benefit Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center specifically the Mary McDermott Cardiac Catheterization Suite.
“It’s an honor to host the U-17 National Team,” said club President Jim Kavanaugh. “It will be a tremendous opportunity to showcase our club and upgraded facility.”
