Tournaments
Fall Classic
October 10–11, 2026
The Fall Classic brings roughly eighty teams from across the region to both complexes for a two-day bracket tournament. Guaranteed three games per team, with semifinals and finals Sunday afternoon.
Applications open in July and brackets are set once the acceptance deadline passes. Accepted teams receive field assignments and check-in instructions by email the week before.
This tournament is our largest fundraiser. Revenue goes directly into field maintenance and keeps recreational registration fees where they are.
Spring Kickoff Invitational
March 6–7, 2027
A smaller preseason tournament designed as a tune-up before league play begins. Format is round robin with no knockout stage, so every team plays the same number of matches regardless of results.
Field space is limited to the North Complex, which caps the bracket at thirty-two teams. Applications are reviewed in the order received.
Community Cup
November 7, 2026
A single-day, in-house tournament for our own recreational teams at the close of the fall season. No entry fee, no outside clubs, no standings carried forward. Every team plays at least two matches.
The Community Cup exists because recreational players deserve a tournament experience too, without a hotel bill attached. Coaches register their team through the link below; there is no player-level signup.
On Boxing Day 1920, Dick, Kerr Ladies drew 53,000 spectators to Goodison Park with thousands more locked outside. Less than a year later the English FA banned women from using its grounds entirely. The ban stood until 1971.
The 1950 tournament was decided by a final group stage rather than a knockout final. It happened to end with Uruguay beating hosts Brazil at the Maracanã in front of a crowd estimated near 200,000 — still the largest ever to watch a football match.
