St. James @ Kingston Stockade Soccer!
2024-06-22 17:30 - 21:00 | NY
Come join the St. James’ cheering section for our Kingston Stockade Division 4 soccer team!
Enjoy a fun evening with St. James’ friends the next three Saturdays at 6 pm at the Marist stadium. What could be better on a summer evening than friendly conversation, kids running around, food trucks, and an occasional goal to celebrate!
Many St. James’ members & friends have enjoyed attending these games recently. Most of us bring folding chairs so we can sit together on the west side of the field near the Stockade team’s energetic cheering leaders, and a few prefer the stadium seats.
Tickets are $10/adults and $5/children ages 3-12. We have found that arriving around 5:30 provides a head start on the food truck lines. You are welcome to bring water bottles and snacks. There are three more season games in 2024: June 8, 15, and 22. Details on games at stockadefc.com. No RSVP needed, but if you’d like to coordinate, text or call Russell Urban-Mead at 914-456-1095.
