| Not a big surprise, and only affects MD teams as out of state would not have been able to play due to HoCo guidelines, but the Southampton Cup has been cancelled. https://www.elitetournaments.com/tournament/southampton-cup-baltimore#overview |
Is this a new event |
More events will be cancelled |
No it’s not new. It’s just not well attended since it’s so late in the season. |
It's actually a pretty fun tournament, but as you noted not too well attended. They bring over Southampton academy youth coaches, and in past years sent a Southampton U13 boys team to play in the tournament. Put up big screens with EPL games, have giveaways (scarves) for kids who do some sort of fitness test, and hand out man of the match certificates. They also choose some players to go to Southampton for a week (though I don't think airfare is comped) from the Baltimore tourney as well as others (TX and FL I think). |
Its well attended for the boys- some age groups 5 flights with 8 teams each. 2017 was boys only. They added girls 2018 and 2019- not a bad tourney. |
Was a good boys event |
