into a fun, fast paced game teams will remember!

The tournament will be played in Newport News at Riverview Farm Park and will be open to recreational teams as well as Travel teams. All games will be played within a 5 hour time period (as scheduling permits) so teams will be waiting for a game no longer than an hour or so between games.
