Letter: Soccer club looking for tournament sponsors
Posted by | Comments
The Lakewood-Steilacoom-Dupont Soccer Club (LSDSC) will host its 5th annual Fort Steilacoom Cup 5v5 tournament on August 7th and 8th at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood. The 5v5 format is a wonderful opportunity for players to get more touches on the ball as there are only 4 players on the field at a time. Due to the short games, it is also a great opportunity for coaches to interact with their players and do a lot of teaching between matches. The 5v5 format is unique in these ways and this is the only tournament of its kind in Western Washington. This event draws youth teams from across the state and has been a huge success for us in the past. Participation in this event grows each year. For 2010 we expect more than 50 teams in the tournament and more than 1,000 guests over the course of the weekend. Given the success of previous tournaments, we are now comfortable in offering sponsorship opportunities.
