Tournament Information

The Glen-Ed Soccer Charitable 501.c.3 Organization and the Glen-Ed Soccer Association cordially invites you to attend the 13th annual Glen-Ed Spring Kick-Off Tournament.  Through our federally approved 501(c)(3) charitable organization, all tournament proceeds benefit local education and sports programs.

We will have Gold, Silver and Bronze divisions in all age groups where team entries warrant their creation. Our tournament has enjoyed a strong following from local teams which in turn, has attracted many out-of-town teams seeking diverse competition. During the past 5 years, teams have traveled from 7 different states to play in the Spring Kick-off. We go to great lengths to ensure teams get to compete against other teams of similar ability.

Do you coach more than one team?… because all of our fields are in close proximity, accommodating coaches that have 2 teams entered is something we can do much better than most multi-site events.

The tournament is a 3-game guaranteed event and is open to boys and girls U7-U15 and high school boys only U16-U19.  All USYSA, US Club, USSSA and AYSO-affiliated teams are welcome.

Hotel Reservations

We are a “Stay to Play” tournament and a condition of acceptance requires every “out of town” team (defined as over 2 hours away) to book their hotel rooms using our hotel service reservations partner. Glen-Ed utilizes GCI Team Travel to secure hotel rooms for our tournament.  GCI works closely with the hotels in our area to secure the best rates possible.  Partner hotels are selected based on their ability to provide the type of services, amenities and prices needed for youth soccer teams.
