WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – Monday, June 11, 2018 – The Des Moines Menace hosts the state’s 2018 high school all-star soccer action the next two Saturdays at Valley Stadium.

The games – June 16 for the boys and June 23 for the girls – are presented by Soccer Master and organized by the Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association.

This is the Menace’s sixth straight year hosting the all-star games, showcasing graduated seniors who are nominated by high school coaches. The all-star contests are scheduled for 5 p.m., and they’re followed by Premier Development League matches for the Menace – a team that has won the first six games of the franchise’s 25th season.
