Why 3v3?
3v3 events are growing in popularity throughout the country primarily because of the increasing focus on using small-sided play to teach the game. Small-sided games have several advantages over full sized scrimmages: - More touches on the ball
- More decision-making opportunities
- More actual play
- More goal scoring opportunities
- More energetic games because all players are constantly switching between attacking and defensive roles

How are the divisions broken up?
Teams will be placed into divisions based upon age, gender and playing experience. Any team or player determined by the Tournament's Event Director to have falsified age or skill level will be dismissed from the tournament. Teams that span more than one age group will be placed into the division of the oldest, most experienced player on the team. The tournament administration will make every effort to place teams into divisions with similar players and we reserve the right to combine divisions if necessary.
How do I know if my team should play in the rec. or competitive division?
Teams that have at least one player with competitive experience will be classified as a competitive team. Example: If you have one player with competitive experience you will be placed in the competitive bracket. Generally competitive teams or players play, practice or train 2-3 days or more per week. All other teams and players will be classified as recreational unless the team decides to play at the competitive level.
GENERALLY IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION YOU SHOULD PLAY IN COMPETITIVE!
