     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 18^th-19^th and Single School teams will compete Saturday and Sunday May 19^th-20^th.  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.

    Teams apply to participate.  Event packets will be available in the near future and interested teams are asked to contact the club or school committee representatives below for applications and eligibility information.  Venue questions can be sent directly to the event host.
