All teams are guaranteed a minimum of four games. The tournament is open to all girls town travel teams ages U10 (6v6 format), U12 (8v8 format) and U14 (11v11 format). Note -- "odd" age group teams (U9, U11, and U13) are welcome to apply to the next highest "even" age group (U10, U12, and U14). You will be grouped with other teams in your age group where possible, or else you will be matched against lower division teams from the next highest age group.
