Posted On July 20, 2015 by PUSC
July means two things to families in our soccer club, very hot sunny weather and lots of weekend games as the busy tournament season gets under way. Over the past two weekends, Placer families have clocked hundreds of miles traveling up and down the various California freeways and highways supporting their teams. Placer United boys and girls U11 to U18 teams dressed in their Yellow Submarine kits were spotted in Davis, Folsom, Pleasanton and Turlock.

Over in Folsom the U11 Boys White team had an outstanding tournament playing some great soccer on the way to beating some strong U11 teams and advancing to the semi-finals.
