A big thanks to the thousands of participants and spectators at The Santa Cruz Beach Soccer Championships. The tournament with One World Futbol has brought a lot of people together with inspiration, action, and good times to get to know one another better. We appreciate the high flying bicycle goals scored by youth and the Men's Open players, especially to the Fresh Coast Beach Soccer Champions, Shoreline Beach Soccer Club. The team embodies the spirit of the game by sharing the tactics and strategies they know with other teams, and hugging the opposing team after the match. This dedication and good sportsmanship is the true meaning of beach soccer!
