Every year our boys and girls teams battle to qualify for the weekend of their dreams: The annual USA League Championship Tournament, this year, your company can help this dream come true by contributing so that ALL players play FREE OF CHARGE and to cover tournament expenses such as referees, trophies, and medals.
It would be an honor if you could collaborate with our non-profit Association. This year, our tournament will be held at the Charlotte County Soccer Federation facilities in Port Charlotte the weekend of April 6-7, 2024.
22 teams of boys and girls will battle to become the best with over 1,500 family members and spectators attending. We firmly believe this exciting and unique event with good soccer, food, music, and excitement will provide great value and exposure for your company.

23-24 Reminders & Need to Knows
www.usa-soccer.org
- When scheduling your USA games —PLEASE Remember not to schedule visiting teams before 10 AM (if traveling more than 50 miles) and remind your field schedulers to try to schedule multiple games consecutively (every two hours) if possible so we can get referees who wish to work multiple matches, enough time to finish preceding match and start the next one
With the extreme heat, please make sure all players/coaches and referees are properly hydrated. SAFETY First
As a reminder, players should not leave the field during a hydration break.
Player and referee safety is our number one concern. If you see a player or a ref in distress stop immediately. Make this a priority to communicate to your refs.
- HOME team MUST provide FIELD Marshall…and AR’s. USA Soccer will assign the Centers.
Exception: U9 & U10 Centers are assigned by the club.
- HOME team pays the Referees.
- Both teams are to show up to field no less than 30 mins prior to kickoff.
- Away team to bring TWO different colored jerseys…in case they need to change.
- USA Soccer has discontinued the use of the 3 part game report; each team will be required to have player passes and the Got Sport Game Card, (which will list the rostered players) which will have score entered and signed by both coaches at the end of the game.
- No Write In’s! Up to 5 Club Pass Players are Allowed.
- Scores should be reported by the referee, but Home Team coach will also be able to report through Got Sport

THE BENEFITS OF SOCCER
Our boys learned to play the game and be responsible athletes with the club. Their success as students and athletes in college are in part due to the guidance of their coaches.
Thanks for providing a league were our kids can play in an organized way. The coaching, the refs, the fields. Everything perfect.
Really appreciate all the work done so that our boys and girls can play the beautiful sport.
