Sport Verein The Peoria Sport Verein club was founded in 1927 and incorporated in 1938. The main objective of this club is to further promote Deutsche Kultur through physical activity. Our club sponsors several soccer teams and hosts games on our soccer field at Hickory Grove. We also sponsor occasional "old timers" soccer games. The S.V. Blues is the second oldest club in the state and the oldest continuing soccer club in Illinois. The S.V. Blues is also a founding member of the Central Illinois Soccer League, which runs through the summer months. As well as being a founding member of the Central Illinois Soccer League, the S.V. Blues will host the Walter Reed cup finals this year at Hickory Grove. Sport Verein co-sponsors the Peoria High School Soccer Coaches Association's Senior All-Star Game. This is a game which allows the top seniors in the Peoria-Metro area to showcase their talents in front of college coaches. The boys senior game is held in the Fall and the girls in played in the Spring. The club holds its business meetings on the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 pm at Lindenhof. We welcome anyone who is interested to participate with the Deutsche Kultur. |
