The RMU Men's Club Soccer team geared up to host their 2nd annual 7v7 Colonial Classic Soccer Tournament this summer on July 27-28 at the AHN Montour Sports Complex.
The 7v7 Colonial Classic is a youth soccer tournament aimed at U10 and U12 boys and girls teams across the region, serving as the club's main fundraiser. Looking ahead to this year, the 7v7 Colonial Classic was set to expand, welcoming more members of the local soccer community. Separate divisions were created for both boys and girls teams at the U10 and U12 age levels. Adding to the excitement, P3R, Pittsburgh's leading non-profit known for organizing transformative sporting events, supported this year's tournament by bringing their Kids of STEEL team on-site.
The tournament garnered positive feedback from many participants last year and this year was no different. This year numbers grew with 27 teams and over 300 kids participating. Most teams were local travel programs, but a few teams traveled from Ohio and the Lancaster area.
Every team was assured a minimum of four games, and each player received complimentary tickets to the Riverhounds vs. Loudoun United FC game on July 27th.
Results:
U10 Girls - Donegal Youth Soccer
U10 Boys - Grove City Eagles
U12 Girls - Millie's Cone Crusgers
U12 Boys - Dortmund Dogs
