Santa Clara Youth Soccer finished the 2010 Top Soccer Season with their annual End-of-the-Year soccer game and Party on Friday night, November 19th at the Santa Clara Youth Soccer Park.  About 40-50 players, siblings, volunteers and parents braved the chilly  weather, but enjoyed the one hour game and pizza party. Many thanks to Tricia Biocini who runs the SCYSL Top Soccer Program along with volunteers from our league.
