Six-year-old Aidan Marks recently took home first place honors in the Bergenfield PAL Soccer competition. Each competitor had to compete in an obstacle course of speed and skill based drills; Marks finished with the best time and highest scores in his division.

Aidan’s father told the JLBC that in addition to being tremendously proud of his son’s accomplishment, he is left slightly puzzled. When asked from whom his son gets his soccer abilities he responded, “He surely doesn’t get his skills from his father.  But then again, his mother isn’t much of a soccer player either, so who knows?”
