Most People Dribbling a Soccer Ball


Soccer players  here is  your chance to dribble your way to enter the world of records. But here we bring in a story which tells you about players dribbling the soccer ball for a philanthropic purpose. The soccer players  set out to help  an organization dedicated to assisting St Louis youth.
The Great St. Louis Soccer Dribble at St. Louis University's Hermann Stadium officially recorded 428 participants and had them dribbling dribbling for six minutes , setting the world record for most people dribbling a soccer ball at once
The event was organized by the non-profit America SCORES St. Louis, a program that uses soccer, poetry and service learning to aid urban youth. 

  To set the record, at least 250 people were required to simultaneously dribble a soccer ball for five minutes.
 Louis was able to sign up 428 people and had them dribbling for six minutes to ensure the record was set, said Teresa von Stamwitz, the organization's associate director. 

  All funds raised from the event benefited America SCORES St. Louis for its youth programs.
The world record attempt is intended as a fun way to kick off the fall soccer season and raise money for and awareness of America SCORES, which teaches soccer and poetry to urban youth as a means to improve their bodies and minds.
America SCORES is working with more than 200 kids from seven area schools. The students meet twice a week each for soccer and poetry, plus they participate in a weekly game day. For the Great American Dribble, participants had to pay  $25 registration fee and are able to take part in the world record attempt, plus receive a T-shirt, an official event soccer ball. Area coaches also would be on hand to lead some skills demonstrations, and participants would be able to get their soccer balls autographed by the Billikens players.
The most number of people dribbling  soccer ball counted to 428 persons for six minutes and was set by the Great St Louis Soccer Dribble at the St Louis University’s Hermann Stadium at St Louis, Missouri, United states of America on September 15,2011.
