Outgoing executive director of Kamloops youth soccer feels it’s time to leave game
KAMLOOPS — Goodbye hugs and congratulations were aplenty for Keith Liddiard on Friday, spending his final day with Kamloops youth soccer with friends and colleagues, talking about old stories and reflecting on his 10 years as executive director.
“I’ve had the privilege of meeting some really wonderful people in this sport,” said Liddiard during a retirement luncheon on McArthur Island on Friday. “I’ve cherished that, and as indicated today by the number of people that have dropped by, I’m absolutely thrilled from the memories I have of the sport that I love, I’m passionate about.”
In the decade he’s been in charge, Liddiard has elevated everything about the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, mainly the level of competition of most local teams.
