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.
