You are invited to the 2009 VIT!
April 06, 2009
On behalf of the Evansville Soccer Club we would like to extend to you and your club an invitation to participate in the 8th Annual Veterans Invitational Soccer Tournament this Fall in Evansville, Indiana on November 7th and 8th (Girls Weekend) or November 14th and 15th (Boys Weekend), 2009.

Last year's tournament brought in some of the most competitive clubs in the Mid-West, 300+ teams from 9 states and we anticipate this year's event to be even stronger. Most age brackets will have a premier and classic division providing a competitive opportunity for every team. The Veterans weekend tournament truly is an invitational tournament. It is our intent as the host organization, Evansville Soccer Club, to provide quality play at quality facilities. Our Goebel Soccer Complex is the talk of Indiana Youth Soccer. Having recently hosted the Indiana State Cup Tournament, it is a state-of-the-art facility with professionally designed Bermuda fields including 6-lighted fields and a championship synthetic astro-play stadium field. Evansville, Indiana sits on a East/West, North/South corridor of a hotbed of good soccer. We anticipate teams from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Michigan, Arkansas, Alabama, Iowa and Wisconsin to participate. Several major clubs in those areas have already committed to playing. Veterans Day weekend promises to be a great opportunity for teams to conclude their fall season or to use as preparation for upcoming showcase events. Either way, we pledge to put on a tournament of the highest caliber.

SPECIAL NOTE: U12 teams....the VIT will be trying to have TWO playing options....Our state association, IYSA, is allowing us to play 11 v 11 and 8 v 8 in the U12 age group. We will be looking for U12 teams to put a note in the comment box letting us know if they wish to play 8v8 OR 11v11.

We look forward to seeing you at the Veterans Invitational, November 2009 for some very good soccer. Teams that apply early will receive priority consideration.
