Cincy Challenge 2024

Welcome to the Cincy Challenge 2024

Cincy Challenge Teams,

On behalf of Kings Hammer SBD, we would like to welcome you to the Cincinnati Area for the 2024 Cincy Challenge. The Cincy Challenge provides over 200 teams participating with an opportunity to play multiple games in one weekend between two incredible facilities.  

In this event guide, you will find all the information you need for this year’s event including links to schedules, facility maps, and local area attractions to visit while you are in town. Please take a moment to look through the guide. We also ask that you forward this link to all of your players and families so they have this information for the weekend. The link is mobile friendly as well so they can pull it up on their phone and refer to it throughout the event. We hope you have a chance to enjoy all that Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have to offer while you are here.

Thank you for choosing the Cincy Challenge. We are excited about the event this year and look forward to hosting your team in Cincinnati!

Facilities

Voice of America Park:

  • Teams playing at Voice of America Park: Address to the Complex is 123 Cox Road, West Chester, OH 45069.  There are daily parking passes required for all matches played at Voice of America Park.  Please be advised that the Voice of America MetroPark has updated and improved their parking pass process. Please share this with everyone on your team to expedite receiving your pass. Every vehicle must purchase a pass. Passes will now be sold for advance purchasing but will still be available to purchase on the day of the event. Cash will no longer be accepted in person. Passes are $8 per day for any passes purchased in advance online. This includes in your car prior to arriving at the exit. The price changes to $10 per day for passes if purchased at the exit. Passes can be purchased through the online box office found HERE and will be available at 8am on the Monday prior to the start of the tournament. Once purchased a QR code will be sent to your inbox.
    • Passes will no longer be scanned upon entering the park but instead will be checked upon exiting. Everyone must enter through the Cox Road gate. Cars exiting the facility will have the option to exit through the Cox Road gate, Liberty Way gate OR the Butler Warren Gate. Cox Road exit will have lanes 1 and 2 set up as express checkout lanes for pre-bought tickets only. Liberty and Butler will be open for Exit ONLY and they are both Right turn only.  If returning to the park that day, please make sure you get a ticket from the parking staff to avoid being recharged for your next visit.
  • Since this is a new process, we ask that you please be patient.

Team Check-In

Since team check-in took place online in advance, you do not need to check-in when you arrive at the fields.  However, please make sure to bring your player cards to each game.

Athletic Trainers

Trainers will be located at Warren County Sports Park and Voice of America Park throughout the weekend in case your child needs to be evaluated for an injury.

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.

Awards

Champion and Finalist/Runner Up Medals will be issued to the TOP TWO Teams in each Division. Those will be determined AFTER your team qualifies and competes in the Championship Match. If your team is in a Group of 5, the top two teams in the bracket will be awarded medals. We will do our very best to get those to you while still at the complex, however, there may be a situation that another game in your bracket will still need to be played in order to determine Champion and Finalist. All awards can be picked up at the headquarters tent. Please send ONE representative (preferably Coach or PA) to the headquarters tent to collect medals. There will be a separate area set aside with banners for each to take pictures.

Event Merchandise

Apparel will be set up both Saturday and Sunday at the Merchandise Tents located at each facility. Warren County Sports Park will be located behind Field 6B. Voice of America will be located next to the Field House by Field 3.  They will be under the large white tent with a large Flag in front marked “Merchandise”. Items will be available for purchase at the merchandise tent Saturday, 8am – 5pm and Sunday, 8am – 4pm.

 

Concessions

There will be concession stands open at both Voice of America Park and Warren County Sports Park on limited hours. You are encouraged to pack food items or visit any of the various local establishments for the majority of your food and beverage needs.
