The Revelstoke U11 boys soccer team participated in its first jamboree of the season on April 28 in Penticton. The first game saw Revelstoke defeat Kamloops 4-0 with two goals from Tyler Jamieson and singles from Grady Powell and Caleb Guenther. David Kline picked up the shutout.

The second game against Kelowna saw a scoreless first half. Kelowna scored twice in the second half for a well-deserved 2-0 victory. Coach Alan Chell was very pleased with the teams performance and was particularly impressed with the play of centre back Jackson Litke who read the play well, tackled the ball aggressively and demonstrated strong ball control from the back line.

Next up for the team is a jamboree in Kelowna on Sunday, May 5.
