Schedule: Each team will play on only one day of the weekend.  Historically, all High School divisions play on the same day.  If I had to guess, the teams will play on Sunday.    Red and White teams are entered in the “A” Division or 11th and 12th grade division.  The Blue Team is entered in the “B” division or the 9th and 10th grade division.  Final schedule will be e-mailed the week of the tournament. 

Format:  4 games

Fields:  Fields are grass, bring cleats.  (If you want to be safe bring sneakers and turf shoes also)

Parking: Parking is on site.    

Concessions: There should be concessions.  On route 138 there are other places to eat. There is a Dunkin’ Donuts about 2 miles past the field on RT 138.  There is a Starbucks just past the Dunkin’ Donuts on RT 138 next to the BJs. 

Field Map: Will be emailed the week of the tournament if supplied by organizers.
