This year marks the 27th anniversary of the American Family Insurance Ostrich Festival Tournament presented by RSL-AZ. The tournament is held each March to coincide with the city of Chandler's Ostrich Festival which draws over 250,000 visitors. While most of the country is still cold, wet and sometimes snowy, we enjoy beautiful warm sunny weather that is perfect for soccer. The valley also hosts 15 major league baseball teams during this time. Come early and catch a few games of baseball before a weekend of soccer.
We plan to host 450 U7-U19 teams from all over the state of Arizona as well as New Mexico, Nevada, and California, and several other states plus Canada. We offer a 3 game minimum with many teams playing 4 games.
Referees - please contact Chris at refqueen@cox.net if you are available to referee for our tournament.

OTHER INFORMATION:
Academy Teams U7/U8 ONLY - Do not need player passes, but must provide an official roster. Academy players may play in 2 squads for the same Academy team if the team plays with a non-fixed roster and the players are registered with the club's sanctioning body. For example, Academy Team Red has 15 players and splits into Academy Team Red 1 and Academy Team Red 2, (both teams must register in the tournament). A player may play for both Red 1 & Red 2, but their play time must not exceed 80 minutes of soccer per day.
TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS:
Please note that this is a Stay and Play event. Once your team is accepted into the event, you will receive a Live Booking Link from JJRP Sports Travel.
Log into your Got Sport Account and build your EVENT ROSTER. This roster must have all players listed, including guest players. This is what will be used to generate the game cards so it is important that all players are put into the system.
*NOTE: If your club has your rosters locked, you won't be able to access the Ostrich Player Pool.
