Do teams have to play in the Soccerfest?
It is not required for teams to play in Soccerfest but highly encouraged. To be eligible for the additional 6 pts for participation in pool play teams must meet the following criteria:
Pool Play Points Awarded for Soccerfest
- A team coach may request that a rostered player or coach be excused from Soccerfest due to unusual or special circumstances. This request must be made to the National Games Venue Committee not later than the team’s check-in time.
- Each team will be awarded six (6) points in pool play standings for participation of its officially rostered players and coaches in both Soccerfest games (except for those players and coaches excused as noted above), provided that at least one coach and a minimum number of players from the team participate.
Minimum number of players for Soccerfest participation are as follows:
- 10U – 7 players
- 12U – 9 players
- 14U/16U/19U – 10 players
Partial credit will not be awarded.
Soccerfest points will be posted after Soccerfest within a reasonable time as established by the Venue Committee. Any challenge to the Soccerfest points must be made prior to the end of the last game on July 25, 2025. Any challenge received after the deadline, no matter the validity of the claim, will not be considered.
Can a sibling of a tournament team player play in Soccerfest?
Due to the large number of registered players (over 5,000) and limited field space, we will not be able to accommodate siblings this year.
