Eurosport Coaches Game
This year's tournament will feature the sixth annual Saturday evening coaches game played under the lights! Last year's game again featured some very high quality play by more than 50 coaches and about 500 fans. It was a great success and a lot of fun for the kids to "encourage" their coaches and watch some awesome soccer. We typically have pizza and drinks available for everyone. |
