Bolingbrook Labor Day Soccer Festival 2009

WELCOME TO 2015 BOLINGBROOK ANNUAL LABOR DAY SOCCER FESTIVAL   ================================================= UPDATE:  As of August 10th 2015 all teams registering will be wait listed.    If you would like to be on our wait list, please register and we will notify you by August 28th if we have any cancellations.   Thank you for considering the Labor Day Soccer Festival.   If you would like to be added to our notification list for our 2016event, please email cwalker@bolingbrooksoccerclub.org   =================================================   Our 2015 Soccer Festival is a great way to kick off the season.   In 2014 we had over 150 teams participate in the soccer festival.   Every team is assured 3 games.   The games start on Friday September 4th, usually with local teams playing, then a full schedule on Saturday and Sunday.  We hold Monday, Labor Day as a rain day in case of severe weather earlier in the tournament.  We hope you will join us and make our Soccer Festival a fun filled weekend with good competitive soccer.   Both the Chicago Fire and Chicago Red Stars professional soccer teams will be participating in our tournament event.  Having both professional men and professional women's teams sending folks from the club make it a great way to get to meet professional athletes and provide great experiences for all players.   We have competitive play at every level.  The point system for this tournament encourages playing time for all players, with 6 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, and 1 point for a 3 goal differential (instead of a shutout), as well as a point scored for each goal (up to 3).   This format encourages coaches and managers to play all their players if they get ahead of an opponent by more than 3 goals.   We view this tournament as a way for the players, coaches and parents to start the season with some good healthy competition.   The fields are located just north of I-55 off of Weber Road in Bolingbrook IL.   Last year we had teams from Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana participate.  There are a variety of local things to do close by, and the city of Chicago is 30-40 minutes from Bolingbrook.   We also have made arrangements with several hotel groups for a discounted rate for those traveling overnight for the tournament.   For more information, please email Cynthia Walker at cwalker@bolingbrooksoccerclub.org
