The latest edition of the Optimist Club of Plant City’s annual competition was held Saturday morning.
The Optimist Club of Plant City and Plant City Parks and Recreation Department kicked off May with their annual Tri-Star Soccer Skills Contest, which puts Plant City youth age 6-14 to the test on the pitch.
The competition has three parts: a timed dribbling exercise around a set of flags, a passing exercise with targets to hit and a shooting drill where specific zones are targeted. The top three participants in each of the four age groups won a trophy for their efforts.
