The U . S . Youth Soccer organization celebrated Youth Soccer Month in September , and on Sept 25 they had “ Wear yourJersey Day , ” so the local soccer club figured they could also do the same .

Wednesday , Oct . 7 , was designated as “ Plainfield Soccer Day . ” All the kids wore their Jerseys to school so that they to could display their pride and love of the game of soccer . There are few things that kids love more than their first jersey in any sport , and the ability to share that with friends and classmates is something that they will remember for a long time .

As far as the soccer itself , a big day had been planned for last Saturday and a full docket of games . Mother nature , however , had her own plans , and for the most part she won out . But … A few teams braved the weather and traveled to neighboring Brooklyn to compete against both foes . ( The weather and the Brooklyn teams )

The Plainfield road warriors were opposed by some stiff Brooklyn competition and came away with only one win out of the five teams that played . It seems that the teams really like our home games and the home fans that support them .

Next week is a bye week for the Soccer Club , but they will be back in full force on Oct . 16 , with a packed schedule that will have the kids and parents ready for some action . Hopefully it brings some good weather and an adjustment back to the winning ways that Plainfield teams have become accustomed to so far this season .

One last thing to mention is that the celebration of the kids and the league will be taking place in November with an awards banquet . Coaches will keep the parents informed of where and exactly when this will take place .
