Please see below information on pertinent items relating to the event.  Please also share with all parents. If you have any further questions please contact Martin Kenny on mkenny@globalpremiersoccer.com  Coaches and Managers - Download the BAND app, the Official Tournament Communication App of the GPS FL Pre-Season Classic. If any Club who has 2 or more teams participating and see that they have teams in the same age group bracketed incorrectly and can simply be swapped we can make that adjustment only. Each bracket was individually created and reviewed with consideration given to GotSoccer rankings, and all standings from those teams that participated in tournaments, and GCF / NPL / FPL scores from the Fall season.  We have worked hard to make every bracket as competitive as possible.   I ask you to understand the knock on effects of moving team after team.  Thank you SCHEDULE    Click here for the .SCHEDULE Click Here for Field Maps  https://events.gotsport.com/events/Default.aspx?EventID=68397   Please share this link with all parents as this schedule will contain full and up to date info on field numbers, kick off times and standings. We remind all coaches and parents to review this schedule and not rely on team apps that may have outdated or incorrect info. At this point it is simply impossible to move any further games without it having a direct knock on effect.  We ask all teams to adhere to this finalized schedule.
