The Nashua Lodge of Elks #720 will be holding its 15th Annual Greater Nashua Soccer Shoot con­test on Saturday, Aug. 15 from 8:30-11 a.m. at the Main Dunstable Road Soc­cer Fields.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three in each of the four boys divisions and four girls: U8, U10, U12 and U14, based on partici­pant’s age on Aug. 15.

First-place winners will compete in the Elks New Hampshire State Soccer Championship Shoot in Portsmouth on Oct. 17.

The Elks Greater Nash­ua Soccer Shoot is a two-stage contest that best rep­resents the skill levels of four age groups.

First, the "Five-Goal Contest" is a succession of separate smaller ground level goal targets for the U8 and U10 participants (15 kicks).

The "Grid Goal Contest" uses the penalty kick dis­tance (36 feet) to challenge the older U12 and U14 par­ticipants (15 kicks).

The event is open to all interested boys and girls from area towns including Hudson, Litchfield, Am­herst, Brookline, Hollis, Merrimack, Milford, Wil­ton and Nashua.
