The Manteca Area Soccer League’s fireworks booth is listed at 1100 South Airport Way.

But the actual location of the booth selling Phantom fireworks is at the southeast of Fishback Road and Daniels Street – not too far from Sizzler at 1890 Daniels St. – in an otherwise vacant lot.

“This is our first year (selling fireworks) at this spot,” said Patricia Serritos, who is the Rec Commissioner of the local youth soccer league featuring 700 to 800 players at the recreation level, and another 300 on the Rangers United Competitive Club.

Proceeds from the sales of fireworks will go back to the players, according to Serritos.

“It’ll help pay for equipment and maintain a low cost (per player registration),” she added.

MASL is one of 14 fireworks booths in Manteca that’s operated by local non-profit organizations.
