Labor Day Tournament:
Hosted by the South Fayette Boys and Girls Soccer Teams Labor Day weekend. The tournament will be a round robin style with no trophies awarded. Burghs will sponsor.
Girls Teams participating in Labor Day Tournament include: Waynesburg, Belle Vernon, Quaker Valley, and South Fayette.
The Boys Team has decided to charge each male team participating $300. Male teams will receive two games, Burgh’s food, and a T-Shirt for this fee. This decision will complicate gate sales for the girl’s team. Discussion was held on ideas for girls’ team to recover gate sale loss, charging female teams already committed to the tournament is not an option.Girls team Tournament Committee plans to meet with Boys Tournament organizers Thursday June 16 in the High School Health Room at 7:00 PM to discuss tournament. All are welcome and encouraged to attend tournament meeting.
