Florida’s premier President’s Day Weekend tournament for boys and girls teams. Last year 275 teams from throughout Florida competed at several facilities which included over 26 playing fields. Teams from outside Florida, including international teams from Canada and Brazil, participate each year. The tournament will offer three levels of competition: Premier, Classic, and Challenge for U9 through U19 boys and girls teams. With teams already committed from Brazil for 2009 the tournament is also expecting additional international teams, out-of-state, and teams from across Florida. President’s Day Weekend festivities, including rides and games, will be held at nearby park facilities, making the overall weekend a festive event for all players, parents, family members and coaches.
