Congratulations to Coach Katie!!https://www.vicnews.com//three-local-podcasts-coming-to-/

2020 was supposed to be an incredible year for some of our U12 girls. A group of girls from Gorge and Peninsula Soccer Club came together in 2019 with a plan to travel to Japan in summer 2020. And then Covid hit. The Gorge Peninsula Girls U12 Japan 2020 soccer team was formed to offer an experience for the girls to travel to Japan to see the Canada Women's soccer team play in the Olympics and play some friendlies with other teams in Japan. The plan was also to foster relati...onships with Japanese clubs for future exchanges. The team started fundraising in January 2019 with players and families working hard to raise funds for the once-in-a lifetime trip. They did everything from chuck-a-pucks and 50/50 draws with the Victoria Royals to selling cheese and donuts. You may have also seen them helping out at Highlanders games, Pacific FC games, World Cup Youth Soccer Festival, Gorge tournaments/jamborees and Peninsula Soccer tournaments. In total, the team worked on about 20 different fundraising events. When it became apparent the trip could not go ahead due to Covid, the team decided to do something fantastic for the local sports community. The team donated almost $13,000 to KidSport Victoria and $2,000 to each of the Gorge and Peninsula hardship funds. These donations will enable more kids to play sports in our local community. The Gorge soccer community would like to say a huge thank you to the following Gorge players and their families for the very kind donations.
