Scenes from our Spring 3v3 Tournament

Thanks to everyone for participating in our Spring 3v3 Tournament! We were able to raise money for a local charity and have a lot of fun in the process.

Congratulations to all the winners and to all of the academy players. It was an exciting day of competitive soccer and we solute your effort. The 3v3 Academy Tournament will be back in the Fall of 2010, hopefully bigger and better than ever!

Enjoy these photos.

GREAT FOOD, GREAT SOCCER, FOR A GREAT CAUSE!

3v3 Academy Tournament Information

This Saturday, 3/27, will be our Academy 3v3 Soccer Tournament.

For those of you that are not familiar with the soccer tournament, it is an event that includes all of our Academy and Pre-Academy players, broken down into age groups and small teams. Each team will consist of 4 or 5 players and will play 3 games against other teams in their age division.

Games will be held at Rock Creek and the schedule runs from 9 till 5. The schedule will work around the Rec games for the U8 players.

This year’s soccer tournament will serve as a charity event to help Dawson County Family Connection & Ric Rack Thrift Store with their Children’s Summer Food Program.

Each player will be asked to donate $3 to The Children’s Summer Food Program as a registration fee. The Children’s Summer Food Program is a charity that is operated by Dawson County Family Connections and Rik Rack Thrift Store.

Breakfast and lunch items will be for sale and are being provided by Bojangle’s and Chick-Fil-A. We will have lunch and breakfast items for sale, as well, with the proceeds going to the charity.

Rosters and Schedules will be released in the next day or 2, but please let me know now if there is a conflict and your child will not be there the whole day. We can still adjust the rosters before releasing them.
