APPLICATIONS CLOSED
Yardley-Makefield Soccer Club will be hosting their 25th Annual All Girls Soccer Tournament on May 10th - 12th 2013. As we go into our 25th year we once again honor long time Tournament Director and YMS coach Bob "Doc" Dougherty. Though Bob is no longer with us, he is still remembered for his dedication to this tournament and to the club over the year. Once again we host this tournament in his memory.
The EPIC has grown to be one of the most popular tournaments in the North East and was upgraded to a Premier Tournament by Gotsoccer, currently ranked as the 32nd girls tournament in the US. This year will be our most geographically diverse tournament to date, with teams from as far north as Canada, and south as Virginia. Levels of play range from premier to competitive. All 11 v 11 games have a three-person referee system and all 8 v 8 games will have a one referee system. All teams are guaranteed at least 3 games.
Entry Fees:
Small Sided 8 v 8 - $550 (U9 - U12)
Full Sided 11 v 11 -$675 (U11 - U17)
