Good morning Keepers!
We are excited to see you all tomorrow at the 5v5 & Keeper Cup Tournament in Nashville, TN. The schedule is now live!
All Keeper Cup games will begin at 8am, and be complete by 10am approx.
A full list of rules can be found HERE
A reminder to you all that this, along with all other events this year, is a National Qualifier. Our Nationals will be alongside the 5v5 Nationals on 11/27 in Orlando, the 5v5 Nationals will be on 11/28-29 at the same venue.
All Medalists will receive an automatic bid to register for Nationals. Non-medlaists still have the ability to register, but their acceptance will be on an as-needed basis once we have confirmed the status of the medlaists.
Some housekeeping rules for tomorrow:
- please bring appropriate GK attire
- please bring plenty of water!!! (94 degrees tomorrow)
ALSO:
- this is a GK Community event and we need you all to help be ball-boys and ball-girls for each other.
- we are in the process of purchasing several thousand soccer balls to be used at our events across the country. We aim to have them in sometime in the fall, so for now, we ask that you bring a ball with you - more than 1 if you have it.
Finally, being that we are only in our first year of partnership with 5v5, we are still very much learning and adpating to provide the best possible experience for you whether its a small event with 4 gks, or a large event with 40+. With that said, we welcome feedback and suggestions, so please contact me directly with any thoughts you might have: matt@5v5soccer.com
Have a fantastic time! have fun, make saves, clean catches, score some goals, and GOOD LUCK!
Don't forget to send us your pics on Instagram: @the_keeper_cup
Thanks
Matt
