Waltham, October 2007; The inaugural Soccerween Tournament took place at
Citizens Bank Fields, Lancaster on Sunday October 28th. The tournament was
based around a Halloween theme with all players, coaches, referees and staff
dressed in various costumes from Austin Powers to Clyde the Crusader
in an exciting event for all.
“The event was a memorable experience for everyone involved,”
said 2007 Tournament Director Lee Billiard. “Everyone bought into the Halloween
theme with some tremendous costumes, complimented by some tremendous soccer, on
display throughout the event.”
The Tournament games were played in costume and were refereed by
superhero and whoopie cushion characters. During intervals, players were able
to win prizes at the Target Banner Tent manned by a Priest with other activities
such as word games and dress your coach like a mummy competitions. Also
in attendance was a Juggling Clown who mesmerized the audience with soccer
skills and tricks.
“The event allowed players to have fun on and off the soccer
field,” said Billiard. “When they were not playing, the players were engaging
in team building activities while winning prizes in the process.”
Within the tournament itself, an epic final resulted in the Lady
Panthers narrowly edging out the Pirates for the championship medals. Other
award winners were the Hippies for the Best Fancy Dress, the Pirates for
Most Attractive Soccer and the Hooligans won the Fair Play award.
“I would like to thank all the players, coaches and parents for
making Soccerween a huge success,” said Billiard. “I look forward to
welcoming everyone back in 2008 for another fun filled soccer experience.”
