The SYSA CITY TOURNAMENT
(since 1969)
The largest tournament of its kind in the state, SYSA's modified double-elimination City Tournament allows SYSA's U11 and older recreational teams to finish the season with two guaranteed additional games. In the first week or two, many of the games are played in the evening on lighted fields. The kids are always excited about playing under the lights in a tournament atmosphere, and many teams surprise their coaches (and themselves) by raising their level of play because of it. The City Tournament began in 1969, and has been held every year since. Don't miss out on the excitement and fun of this great event!
Please take the time to read the tournament FAQs before registering your team. The FAQs include important information regarding the format of the tournament, game rescheduling, and adding guest players to participating teams.
