OMG those poor kids. Its going to be disgustingly, grossly hot and humid.

Those hotels in Greenbelt/Lanham are SHADY. SHADY AF.

could you imagine flying into National, expecting to hop an Uber to your hotel for this "washington dc" tournament. LOL.

If you click on hotels, it looks like the tournament is being played somewhere waayyyyy out in Upper Marlboro Maryland called Liberty Sports Park. Not "Washington DC" as advertised.

Upper Marlboro ain't DC.

I will be shocked if this flopped despite the kinks and the late start at marketing. Ignored it initially because only Potomac was promoting it but they have several academies committed and Events DC behind it as well.

We should all want this to succeed as it brings talent to us without traveling.

Events DC just means they rented Fields at RFK. Or are hoping to until they realize Chelsea-STJ cobranded camp has the whole complex reserved Thurs and Fri

It is at Liberty

Don't they only have 3 fields there, though?

What one complex in DC has 10 lit fields, 6 turf fields and 4 grass fields? I can't think of any.

Forcing you to stay in their affiliate hotels is diabolical

U8 to U12 in the middle of summer break and heat sounds wonderful

To ensure the best experience for all teams, The Rising Stars Cup follows a Stay-to-Play policy. All teams traveling from 75+ miles away must book accommodations through our official tournament housing partner, Fastbreak.Ai. Fastbreak.Ai simplifies group booking, with exclusive rates at top-rated hotels that are convenient to the tournament’s location. (If your team has already been accepted to the tournament, book your stay here.)

Booking with Airbnb or any independent home or hotel-booking company is not permitted and may result in team disqualification.

Yes this is true so many places but sounds even sleazier with "fastbreak.ai" "best possible experience" "you will be disqualified!!!!" LOL

Anyone have the details on which local clubs will be participating in this upcoming tournament? I am sure it will be hot and miserable, but the teams marketed as attending, if true, seem extraordinary for the area.
