The tournament is sanctioned by MSYSA and US Soccer. Experience the great atmosphere of downtown Grand Rapids and we are close to the West Michigan Beaches if you have time between games.

In our first year we hosted 125 teams from all of the state and beyond. Due to the succes of this tournament and also our Crew Spring Classic April 16-17, we have had a lot of early club interest in this years event. We expect to attract over 160 teams and make this tournament even better!

Look forward to seeing you in Grand Rapids this Summer!
