The Flint River Fall Finale is open to all USYSA affiliated teams who are in good standing with their state associations and USYSA.  All challenge, academy, classic, and athena teams are eligible to enter.  We will offer 6-a-side for U-10, 8-a-side for U-11, 8-a-side for U-12 and all other age groups (U-13 and above) will play 11-a-side. Separate playing divisions will be held to ensure competitive matches. The tournament committee does reserve the right to combine age groups (by 1 year only) if an insufficient number of teams register to form a single year age group.

 

All teams, weather permitting, will be guaranteed 3 matches - two on Saturday and one on Sunday. Finals will be played on Sunday afternoon. We are committed to placing teams in groups with other teams of comparable strength/ability that ensure competitive matches against teams they do not regularly play.
