Danvers Youth Soccer is pleased to invite you and your team to the
Danvers SOCCER SALUTING SOLDIERS Festival!
Unlike our Annual Invitational Tournament held each May, the Festival will be open to Grade 2 and Grade 4 teams ONLY! It will take place on one site on Veterans Day weekend, and tournament entries will be limited to 50 teams. Also unlike our May event, this is NOT a fundraiser for Danvers Youth Soccer. Net proceeds will be donated to OPERATION TROOP SUPPORT, which provides comfort and support to our active duty troops in the all over the world, to our wounded troops at 6 military hospitals across the world, and to their families here at home. Please visit Operation Troop Support for more information.
