    The games will be held in Corner Brook and Stephenville August 8th to the 15th.

    As a teenager in 1996, Jeff Young was part of the NL Games in CBS for Track and Field and today, he is the coach of the host male soccer team for the NL Summer Games coming to the west coast. He says it’s come full circle and he understands the experience waiting for these young people. Young says the host squad consists of 14-15 year olds and it’s a good age to really understand the sport. The games will be held in Corner Brook and Stephenville August 8th to the 15th.
