Youth Soccer Championships – Maryland SoccerPlex (Photos)

I had the pleasure all this week to photograph the youth soccer championships put on by the US Youth Soccer organization. I was covering for the non-profit Cal South Soccer out of Fullerton, Ca. Cal South had 21 teams advance to the #RoadtoMD playoffs – where 6 of their teams advanced as champions.

Here are my best photos of these US Youth Soccer National Champions and congratulation goes out to these champs and all the winners from across the country.
