The following schedules have been changed: U8G, U10G, U11/12B (8v8), U12 B, U13/14B, and U16/19B. Please make sure your teams have the current schedule.

Thurday’s early check-in is optional, but it is a great way to avoid the rush on Saturday morning. Buying a t-shirt Thursday will ensure you get the size you want before we run out.

Here are answers to a few frequently asked questions:

Primary jerseys must have numbers, but you may have duplicates.

Altenate jerseys do not have to have numbers.

Players may play with a cast, as long as it is sufficiently wrapped to protect the other players. The referee will make that call.

Clubs determine which team is FPYC 1 or FPYC 2, and may make changes. Please ensure your team number (FPYC 2) is on the top of the roster submitted at check-in.

The forecast is for very hot weather. Please ensure the players drink plenty of water. Referees and Tournament Staff may abbreviate games or change the game format to quarters if conditions warrant it. (See tournament rules on inclement weather.)

Be sure to RSVP to Golden Boot for the Coaches Game on Saturday to make sure you get a chance to play.

DC United ticket orders for this weekend are due today.
