Awards
Awards will be given to the Champion and Finalist in each of the divisions after the Championship Match. Please send one representative from your team to the large white headquarters tent at your site at the conclusion of your Championship Match to collect awards. There will be back drops and banners available to take pictures.
Athletic Trainers
Trainers will be located at McClure Sports Complex, Voice of America Park and Warren County Sports Park throughout the weekend in case your child needs to be evaluated for an injury. They will be positioned throughout the park under event tents with “Medical” flags next to them. This is a large event, please be patient with the trainers. They will be assisting as quickly as possible and will be treating players on an as needed basis. If a player should need any pregame taping it is the player/team’s responsibility to provide necessary supplies and it will be at the trainer’s discretion on whether they will be attending to preventative measures.
Weather Updates
In the event of inclement weather, we will update our website with details on the field status. If anything changes from a weather or field standpoint for the weekend, we will inform all Coaches and Team Managers as listed in the GotSport system. Please make sure to update your team contact information, if you have not already done so.
