Over 50 middle and high school students participated in the second annual kick-a-thon fundraiser earlier this month for Premier Soccer Training Manteo (PSTM) and Manteo High School varsity soccer.

The festivities began at 8 a.m. with varsity players taking their kicks, followed by the PSTM 3×3 tournament and an adult 4×4 tournament in the afternoon.

All monies raised are split between the high school program and PSTM, which is a 501(c)(3) organization.
