Trophies and medals will be handed out so players can celebrate their season in a way that feels meaningful and fun.

This moment is about recognizing

• the joy of playing

• the effort players showed each week

• the confidence they’ve built

• the friendships they’ve made

• the pride that comes from trying, learning, and growing together

Every player’s journey matters. This celebration focuses on participation, teamwork, positive effort, and creating memories that leave kids excited to keep playing the game.

• The Gates Park Café will be open throughout the weekend.

• We are also working on bringing in a few additional vendors and simple activity stations to help create a welcoming, community focused atmosphere for our youngest players and their families.

To keep the focus on fun, creativity, and smiles, families can look forward to a few kid friendly extras, including:

• stickers

• temporary tattoos

• simple surprises throughout the weekend

These small touches help create a playful environment where kids feel excited, included, and proud to be part of the event.

Coaches are asked to return ball bags, cones, and pinnies. Balls should be given to players to keep.

Important note for spring soccer teams:
