Dear Coaches and Families,
We wanted to reach out with an important update regarding the upcoming 5v5 Soccer Tournament in Cleburne, TX orginally scheduled for June 27.
After exhaustin every effort to make the event work, we have made the difficult decision to pospone the tournament and reschedule int in July.
While we had teams registered and were excited to host the event, we were unable to attract enough teams across the divisions to create the level of competition that we believe every team deserves. Rather that forcing divisions together and risking an wxperience that would not be enjoyable or competitvely balanced, we felt it was best to allow additional time to grow the event and build a stronger tournament for everyone involved.
Our goal is always to provide a fun, competitive, and memorable experience for players, coaches, and families. We believe moving to July gives us the best opportunity to do just that.
We sincerely apoligize for any inconvenience this change mat cause and greately appreciate your understanding and support. We hope you will join us in July for a fantastic day of soccer, competintion, and fun.
If the July date does not work for your team, we have several other 5v5 Soccer events available that we would be happy to transfer your registration to. You can view all upcoming tournaments here:
5V5soccer.com/tournaments
If none of those options fit your schedule, we will gladely provide a full refund.
If you have any questions regarding your registration or the rescheduled event, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support of 5v5 Soccer, and we look forward to seeing you on the field soon.
Sincerely,
Natalie Jones
National Tournament Director
