WILDWOOD — Cape Express MORE Beach Blast Soccer Tournament will Returns to Morey’s Piers for Second 2010 Competition July 17-18.
The second round of the tournament will follow the same format as the immensely popular first tournament, which brought close to over 1,000 teams to the Wildwoods June 25-27.
“We’re thrilled that the demand for this tournament remains so strong and that we’re able to hold it twice in one summer for the second summer in a row,” says Meredith Fiorucci, director of Group Services at Morey’s Piers.
All games will be played on one of many 30 by 40 yard fields. Teams will each play three games consisting of three 12-minute periods, with contests starting on the hour (weather and other unforeseen conditions permitting). Teams advancing to the finals will play in a fourth game for their division championship.
The games, hosted by the Cape Express Soccer Club, will include boys’ and girls’ divisions for 8 to 17 year olds; men, women and co-ed opens; and divisions for players over 30 and 40 years old.
“The rules stay exactly the same for this tournament as the one in June. Competitors play in their bare feet, using balls that are lighter, softer and easier on the feet to avoid injuries,” says Mike Granigan, president of Cape Express Soccer Club.
Not only will the two-day event feature fast-paced soccer on beach at Morey’s, but registered competitors also receive admission to Morey’s three amusement piers and two water parks for the weekend.
