Good evening keepers.
I must firstly apologize for the breakdown in communication and ultimately waste of your time today. I was in Nashville running an event there, so there was a delay in me finding out updates in Naples.
It is my understanding that some event staff and referees did not show up this morning, resulting in an overwhelming operational workload on Greg, who was on site at Naples.
Bottom line, this is an internal staffing problem that we are already making adjustments to avoid a repeat.
With that siad, I will of course be refunding everyone. This will take a few days to land back in your accounts though.
Secondly, I would like to invite you all to pick any future event (including Nationals) and your registration will be free of charge.
The full list is updating each week, but we will be back in FL several times before Nationals in November. So head over to 5v5soccer.com/thekeepercup email me your desired event: matt@5v5soccer.com and I will process a free registration.
Thank you all for you patience and understanding. Have a great rest of your weekend!
Matt Skinner
Keeper Cup Director
Keepers, please go to the 5v5 check in tent and speak Greg to let him know you're here. We should be good to start.
Apologies for the weahter delay.
Godd luck everyone
Hi keepers,
Hope yuo're all well. I've had to make some changes to the schedule as a club that was bringing several gks had to pull out. This will not effect the start time, it just changes the format of each bracket. The link you already have should have been updated.
Good luck everyone!
Dear Coaches,
The tournament schedules are now posted for the Keeper Cup tournament this weekend in Naples, FL. You can view them at this link: https://soccer.exposureevents.com/265331/the-keeper-cup-naples-fl-with-5v5-soccer/schedule
Please review the schedule to ensure you are in the correct division and that there are no conflicts with your bracket.
Please check in at the tournament headquarters table 15 minutes prior to your first game. Proof of age will not need to be presented at check in, however, we do ask that you have a printed or digital copy of each player's proof of age on site in the event of a challenge.
Thank you, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Matt Skinner

Afternoon Keepers,
This is just a heads up on the schedule. We still have a couple of keepers registering - very late, I know, but quite typical with these type of events. As such, it's delaying the schedule being finalized.
So, in an effort to give you some guidlines on what times to expect the Keeper Cup to be played, ALL games will be played AFTER the 5v5 games are complete. So, we are looking at a start time for each bracket aroudn 3-4pm. Each bracket will last around 1.5-2.5 hours. So we should be wrapping it up around 6pm.
I will be posting the schedule tonight, but it'll likely be late. However, you will get an email notification that it's live.
I owe a handful of you an invoice also. I'll be sending these tonight too.
Thank you all for you patience, and good luck tomorrow!
