U10 will play 6v6

We expect that most U12 teams will wish to play 8v8 but are making an 11v11 format available if teams elect to play full sided.

Boys and Girls divisions at all three age groups.

The tournament will use fields at the GSA Complex, Granite Field & Henderson Park.  Specific playing locations will be determined after the tournament application deadline.

Individual trophies will be presented to champions and finalists.   

GSA does not make reservations but we have provided a list of hotels that are "soccer friendly" and have offered special rates to teams attending the tournament.  This includes GSA's host hotel, the Atlanta Marriott on Pleasant Hill Rd.  We have met with these hotels and they understand the special needs of teams traveling.  These hotels have extended a special discounted price to participating teams.  Please make sure you specify you are attending a GSA tournament to get this discount.

Notice: No refunds will be issued unless your application is not accepted.
