CHESTER, Va. -- A 14-year-old boy is recovering after he was assaulted by the father of an opponent during a large soccer tournament in Virginia Beach, according to the victim's family.
The Vickerie family from Chester traveled to the Oceanfront to watch their son, Timothy, play in the North American Sand Soccer Championship (NASSC) last weekend.
The tournament draws more than 10,000 players and hundreds of teams to the area.
"It’s a fun weekend and something we look forward to. It’s our second year doing it and we were looking forward to it," Timothy Vickerie explained.
However, during the end of a close 5-4 game dozens witnessed the Vickerie's son and an opponent fight for a ball on Saturday.
Jennifer Moss, who traveled to the tournament from Bon Air with her son, was watching the game from the sidelines.
