Club Passes U10-U12 Girls - The tournament staff is presently considering the acceptance of cup passes to be in alignment with the local WAGS rules.
A Few New Fields - We've been searching the county and we think we've found a few very decent new fields that we'll be using in 2009! If things work out, we'll publish the new field locations in late July.

Passback
-The August Cup collects gently used soccer gear (jerseys, shorts,
shoes, cleats, socks, gloves, etc) for Passback, the national program
sponsored by the US Soccer Foundation and Major League Soccer that
recycles our old gear so that others can enjoy the Beautiful Sport.
Through Passback, thousands of pieces of usable gear to soccer programs
all over the United States and all over the world, most recently
including Afghanistan, Cameroon, and Iraq. Clean out those closets
so others can play, and look for our collection bins next to the
headquarters
tent at the SoccerPlex.
