Updated Gate Fee Format for Upcoming Tournament
Dear Coaches and Parents,
We want to inform you of an important update regarding the gate fee format for the upcoming tournament.
General Admission Pricing:
Daily Pass: $15.00 per person
Children Under 10 Years: Free
Coaches & Players: 3 coaches per team and all uniformed players will be admitted for free
Wristbands: Must be worn at all times. Please note that broken wristbands will not be accepted for re-entry.
This change was made in response to feedback from teams regarding the previous $100 per player gate fee. We understand that collecting large fees in advance placed added responsibility on coaches and team managers. By moving to an individual daily admission model, we aim to streamline the process and ease the burden on team staff.
We appreciate your cooperation and support in making this transition smooth for everyone.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Best regards,
Hilario Salas
