Games will be hosted by Challenge Sports and occur once a month and will take place throughout the state of Florida in cities such as: Jacksonville, Orlando, Lake City, Tampa. Each month we will take the girls to a 3v3 tournament to compete against other girls in their age group from around the region.

How will the girls get to the games?

We will depart for the tournament on the Girls Place van and will need to arrive at the site no later than one hour before the start of our first game. If space remains on the van, parents and siblings will be invited to drive along on the trip on a first come, first serve basis. We will know how many seats we have available as we approach each tournament. ALL PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO RIDE THE BUS TO AND FROM THE TOURNAMENT SITE… NO EXCEPTIONS!

What equipment is necessary?

Girls Place will provide a jersey for girls to wear during their games, but we require the girls to return all borrowed equipment at the conclusion of the game. Each game your child should bring:

-Black athletic shorts

-A white undershirt

-Soccer cleats

-An extra pair of shoes (sandals work best) to change into at the end of the game

*We will provide clean socks and shin guards for each game, but please help us insure that we can provide them each week by making sure they are returned to us at the end of each game! If girls wish to purchase their own shinguards and socks, they are more than welcomed to do so!
