Juli Veee Juli Veee and the armed services YMCA host benefit soccer clinic for children at Camp Pendleton

On Saturday, June 5, 2004 Juli Veee, former San Diego Sockers superstar, partnered with the Armed Services YMCA to host with great pride a complimentary soccer clinic for children at Camp Pendleton. Over 80 children between the ages of 5 and 18 signed up for this one of a kind clinic. Juli wanted to hold this clinic in support of the military and the numerous sacrifices that their families make in service to our country. Other professional San Diego Sockers players joined in on the fun showing the young soccer players new moves and how improve their current techniques. Among the San Diego Sockers present were: Mariano Bolleella, Paul Wright, Matt Johnson and Ben Collins. Former Chargers star, Quinn Early, joined in the festivities and provided Q-Pro Rehydration beverages to all attendees.

Each child received a uniquely designed T-shirt and soccer ball. Sponsors for the event were Chelsea Investment Corporation, Mariposa Apartments at Calavera Hills, Brookfield Homes, The Corky McMillin Companies, Q-Pro Products, Encinitas Soccer League, and the San Diego Sockers.

Hall Property-Soccer Fields
A plan for the Hall Property has been submitted to the city council that includes five multi-sport fields that would allow for five full-size soccer fields, or four full-size fields and two small-size fields. We are now waiting the Environmental Impact Report to be amended with a Global Warming Impact amendment. This review process is currently slated to be completed in spring 2008, though timelines have been of little value on this project. Encinitas Soccer League is solidly in support of the contstruction of the park as it is currently designed. There is a distinct shortage of fields, especially lighted fields, in the city.
