Jamboree event highlight of Terry Walgren Tournament
By The Nelson Daily Sports
The Terry Walgren Youth Soccer Tournament attracted players and teams from throughout the Kootenay and Okanagan regions along with some participants from south of the 49th parallel.
Part of the weekend was reserved for players under the age of 12 playing in a Jamboree style event.
Host Nelson, with 21-plus players on the roster, entered a pair of teams into the Jamboree.
During the Jamboree, there are no scores or points kept, just a lot of determination and skill by all players.
The Jamboree event prepares the players for the Rep category, which youth soccer players enter for the next years.
Some of the players on the Nelson squad included, Logan Martin, Joey Wall, Chase Colgur, Albie Drysdale, Van Keywood, Ryder Collins, Ethan Knight, Logan Wright, Ilya Sherstobitoff, Markus Rentke, Evan Ouchi, Amani Kaufmann, Yannick Holt-Lachance, Oliver Gyr, Charlie Morrison, Jacob De Zwart, Peyton Wilkinson, Tanner Jackson, Kaden White, Emil Metcalfand Gabriel Makortoff.
