(boys and girls), the South 15’s Collegiate Championships, numerous large 7s
events, and Atavus camps.

Bermuda grass pitches and a fourth warmup field.
Tournament host Jody
Hensley noted, “We are excited and look forward to hosting an event of this
magnitude. We hope to provide the best tournament ever for these young athletes.”.”
Club teams compete
Friday and Saturday May 18th-19th and Single School teams
will compete Saturday and Sunday May 19th-20th. Organizers are once again planning multiple
brackets of competition; with two divisions of school competition and two
divisions of club teams. Developing
programs are encouraged to compete against teams they might not normally ever
compete against.
“We are excited to
bring girls nationals to the South, for the first time in the event’s history,”
reflected John Klein, NGCC single school chair.
“It sounds like we have the potential to include several girls teams
from the south, new competitors too. Involving new programs each year is one of
our goals and reflects just how much the girls game continues to grow” Klein
added.
