Turf Classic Teams,
On behalf of Kings Hammer Soccer Club, we would like to welcome you to Cincinnati for the 2023 Turf Classic. We are excited to kick off the spring season with our March Turf events and hope you are excited to compete! The Turf Classic provides participating teams with an opportunity to play some early spring games against great competition without the fear of games getting cancelled due to weather. Each year this event hosts more than 450 teams traveling from Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Canada. 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 Turf Classic. We are excited about the great competition this year and look forward to hosting your team in Cincinnati!

- Notre Dame Academy – We’ve been asked to communicate with all soccer attendees this weekend to please park in the lot immediately to your left as you enter Notre Dame Academy. Please do not park in the spaces along the school or in the back lot as these are reserved for staff and students participating in weekend activities at the school.
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, Voice of America Park, Riverside Park and NKU Intramural Fields throughout the weekend in case your child needs to be evaluated for an injury. In addition, trainers will not be able to run ice to fields so please visit the medic/trainer if you need ice.

If there are no athletic trainers at your location, please feel free to have your athlete seen by the Athletic training staff at the nearest facility where we have on-site staff.
Awards
Awards will be given to the champion and finalist in each division following each Championship Match. They will be handed out by the site coordinator or referee at your field. If you are in a group of five where there is no championship match, we will try to deliver medals to your field if we are able to determine 1st and 2nd prior to all games in the group finishing. If we are not able to do so, we will mail them to you.
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.
