Daniel Island Soccer Academy Gets Roasting!

This Saturday, the Daniel Island Soccer Academy (DISA) will host its annual Oyster Roast and Silent Auction at the Pierce Park Pavilion on Daniel Island. And everyone is invited to join the fun and get shuckin’!

Ed Khouri, the head soccer coach at Bishop England High School on Daniel Island, started DISA a few years back in an effort to give Lowcountry youth soccer players the skills and experience they will need for competitive soccer. Ed gathered together the most experienced and successful coaching staff in the Lowcountry, including former MLS and NCAA players, to create this grass roots, community-managed organization.

Now, DISA has 120 players, boys and girls ranging between 8 to 18 years old, with 14 teams that practice on Daniel Island. They compete in fall and spring soccer leagues both locally and throughout the region.

And on Saturday, DISA coaches, players, parents and the entire Charleston community are invited to an Oyster Roast & Silent Auction at the Pierce Park Pavilion. Tickets purchased prior to Saturday are $20 for adults and $10 for kids and $25/$15 at the door the day of the event. Money from the ticket sales, as well as the Silent Auction, will help DISA raise money for a new irrigation system on their soccer fields.

To purchase tickets, call (843) 608-9071. Or for more information about the Daniel Island Soccer Academy, visit their website.
