This tournament is a lot of fun and also a fundraiser to help us with our fields. Proceeds are put back into our soccer complex. This is our 5th year and we are making this event better and better. We are now an affiliate event of the Kick-It 3v3 Soccer tour and the top 3 finalists in each of our competitive brackets can move on to a Regional tournament held in August. Eventually, if you do well in Regionals (top 5), you can compete in the 3v3 National Finals at Disney World in Orlando over Martin Luther King weekend in Jan. 2009.
Regionals: This summer the regionals are not being held in Rock Hill, S.C. as previously announced. Your options this year are Clarksville, TN (August 2-3) and Columbia Co., GA (August 9-10).

You’ll love the fast-paced, high-scoring nature of 3v3 soccer games. The matches are played on small (30 x 40 foot) playing fields with 4 x 8 foot goals and no goalies. The Competitive tournament runs on Saturday (approximately 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and the Recreational version on Sunday (approximately 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.). Adult brackets will all be on Saturday. We do a one-day tournament so our participants can play and go home without a lot of expense and hotel stay.
A minimum of three players and a maximum of six players are permitted on each team and the oldest player will determine the age level. Kick-It 3v3 soccer tournaments are specifically intended for males and females of ALL SKILL LEVELS, ages five to ADULT. Hope to see you there! Come have fun, make new friends, and enjoy the game of soccer with us at the Rainbow Soccer Complex in Chapel Hill, NC.
