Saturday, November 10^th and Sunday, November 11th

(For Grades 3 through 8)

For Schedule: Click Here

We are thrilled to introduce this new exciting feature to the Madison/Harding Recreation Soccer Program for grades 3-8.

The Fall Classic Soccer Tournament is an opportunity for the players to utilize all they learned throughout the season from their UKElite and parent coaches in a Soccer Tournament played in the final weekend of the season.  

The tournament is sponsored by Weichert Realtors, Honor Tree Care, and UKElite Soccer with support from the sponsors behind each rec team.

The Fall Classic is designed to be a fun and rewarding experience for both the children playing and their families watching and cheering.

What makes the tournament truly exciting is that it is a clean slate for all teams as the team’s performance during the regular season has no bearing on the Tournament.

Teams from each division will be competing for three levels of accomplishment during the tournament:

• Gold
• Silver
• Bronze.
