Apologies for the late message.
The host club, Dalton FC, for this event is collecting a gate fee of $5 per car for the Dalton 5v5 event. Please be prepared to pay this upon arriving at the Broaddus-Durkan Complex.
This is not a fee from or for 5v5 Soccer. This is from the host club Dalton FC. For any questions regarding the $5 gate fee per car please contact the host club contact for Dalton FC, Joan Barcenas.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the fields. Good luck to all the teams!

Thank for your patience and understanding. The game schedules have been updated and are now posted to the site. We had two teams register last minute so some changes were needed.

Dear Coaches and Teams,
The tournament schedules are now posted for the 5v5 Dalton, GA Soccer tournament this weekend. You can view them at this link:
https://soccer.exposureevents.com/237117/5v5-dalton-ga/schedule
Please review the schedule to ensure you are in the correct division and that there are no conflicts with your bracket(s). Schedules are subject to change, so be sure to check back on Friday evening.
Please check in your team at the tournament headquarters tent 30 minutes prior to your first game to turn in your Team Roster/Waiver Form. Remember to bring your printed Team Roster/Wavier Form along with any roster changes, as this will be your last opportunity to make changes. Also, make sure to have a digital copy or physical copy of proof of age. Only one representative from each team needs to attend the check-in.
You are welcome to email me all the forms for a non-contact check-in. Make sure to send 1 email per team, subject put the team name exactly like they are registered with the division they are playing. Make sure to sign the bottom of the roster form. Although proof of age won’t be examined at check-in, please keep the digital or physical copies of the cards/certificates with you in case of a challenge.
Thank you, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Eddie Hamilton

PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR PARENTS
We want to remind everyone of our zero tolerance policy for referee abuse at 5v5 Soccer. As we aim to create a positive and fun tournament, it is crucial that we maintain a supportive sideline environment. While competition is part of the game, let's remember to be respectful and encouraging. Referees play a vital role in ensuring fair play, and we must treat them with respect.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO:
‣ Encourage positive behavior
‣ Cheer and support without aggression
‣ Communicate with respect
‣ Focus on player development
By following these guidelines, we can create a safe and inclusive atmosphere for everyone involved. This should extend to how we treat all team supporters, coaches, staff members, players on both teams and our officials.
A FEW POINTS OF EMPHASIS ON THE 5V5 SOCCER RULES
Touchline (Sideline) Restarts: In place of throw-ins will be kick-ins OR a dribble in with the ball placed stationary on the touchline. A player may not directly kick a ball into the goal from its stationary restart position. A player may also dribble the ball into play and after the ball makes a full rotation may then be kicked into the goal. Kick-ins will be treated as indirect kicks until dribbled.
Direct Restarts: A Corner Kick and Kickoff are Direct Kicks. The kick-off may go in any direction.
Goal Kick: Any time a Goal Kick is required, the goalkeeper will execute a Goal Clearance (ball must leave the Penalty Arc). The goalkeeper will start with the ball in their hands and may either (1) Throw or roll the ball, (2) Put the ball down and pass/kick, (3) put the ball down and dribble out of the Penalty Arc.
Once the ball has been put down, the ball is effectively “live”, meaning defending players may enter the penalty arc. The goalkeeper must release the ball within four seconds. Failure to execute the Goal Clearance within 4 seconds will result in an Indirect kick at the top of the arc for the opposition. A goal may not be scored directly from a goal clearance. Once the ball is OUTSIDE the Penalty Arc, a goal may be scored from anywhere on the field. The ball may not be punted or drop-kicked. Infractions will result in an Indirect Kick at the top of the arc for the opposition.
Thank you for making 5v5 Soccer a great experience. Let's celebrate the joy of the game and promote sportsmanship together!
Best regards,
Andrew Vorce
President 5v5 Soccer
