Lifeguard Games set for Aug. 1 in La Jolla Lifeguards will storm La Jolla on Aug. 1 – but not to make a save. The 2009 Lifeguard Games will be held from 8 a.m. to noon at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. The fifth annual Lifeguard Games are organized by the American Red Cross and are an exhibition of water skills and safety. Teams from San Diego and Imperial counties will compete in individual and team events including submerged victim towing, two-person CPR, 50-yard crawl swim with rescue tube, 10-pound bricks and a first aid test. The Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center is located at 4126 Executive Drive. For more information on the Lifeguard Games, call (858) 309-1271. PLSA now conducting fall soccer signups Fresh to the Peninsula area is the Point Loma Soccer Association (PLSA), a unique new youth soccer program.  The PLSA soccer programs focus on a small-sided game (fewer players per team), game training and game formats promoted by the U.S. Soccer Federation and the U.S. Youth Soccer Association.  PLSA?officials said that by using true small-sided game formats that appropriately scale the game to match the developmental stage of the players, the opportunity for each child to contact the ball dramatically increases. This accelerates players’ individual skill development and understanding of the game.  PLSA offers winter, spring and summer “street soccer” recreational programs and a full team-based fall program. Fall signups are being accepted by mail until Aug. 1. Forms are available online by visiting www.PLSA4kix.org.
