The tournament was designed to give boys and girls high school teams the opportunity to play some competitive, pre-season matches in a tournament setting. Girls teams included: Germantown Academy, St. Basil, Boyertown, and Perkiomen Valley. The boys tournament consisted of Father Judge Varsity, Chestnut Hill Academy, Hatboro Horsham, and Father Judge JV. After three well played, round-robin games, the tournament winners were: Girls: Boyertown High School and for the boys, Father Judge High School Varsity. The winning teams received the first ever Hall of Fame Tournament Crystal Trophy. But the day was not about winning, rather it was for the players to kick off their season with a positive experience. All players were given commemorative tournament shirts and were also provided lunch. The Hall of Fame intends to make this a yearly tradition, and next August will invite eight new teams to the tournament.

These tournaments will showcase some of the best boys and girls high school teams in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

Two of our distinguished members are coordinating the respective tournaments. John Dunlop, coach at Father Judge High School is handling the boys side, and Kevin Schneider, coach at St. Basil Academy is the coordinator for the ladies. These games will surely provide the most competitive and entertaining soccer at this level as some of the best teams in the area have been invited. The list of teams and schedule will be posted as soon as all teams have been confirmed.

The tournament will take place on the Saturday before Labor Day Weekend. The exact date is Saturday, August 29, 2009. The Parkwood Youth Organization has graciously agreed to allow us to use their fields for this event. They are located at 3301 Mechanicsville Road (Dunksferry & Mechanicsville), Philadelphia, PA 19154. Games for all teams will kick-off at 9:00AM and run about two hours. We will be playing a round-robin format where one team will play each of the other three teams in thirty-five minute games. At the conclusion of the games a tournament champion will be announced for both the boys and girls sides. This will be the first of what we hope will be an annual event. The players will receive a commemorative shirt to mark this historic occasion, and also be provided with lunch.

All are invited to come out and watch these college players of tomorrow. We are looking for help in defraying the cost of the event. If you or your business would like to sponsor a team, at only $150, please contact us at info@sepasoccerhall.com. You would receive recognition for your donation on our website, tournament shirts and in our program. Thanks.
