WOW. What a weekend! ⚽️☀️
The inaugural CYSA Summer Kick Off Classic is officially in the books, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude.
Thank you to every association, team, coach, player, family member, supporter, volunteer, vendor, and sponsor who helped make our first-ever tournament a success.
We’re not going to lie—there may have been a few conversations with Mother Nature and more than a few prayers sent skyward on Saturday morning. 😅 After making the decision to delay kickoff by two hours and hoping the weather would move through, we crossed our fingers… and it did!
What followed was an incredible weekend filled with great soccer, sportsmanship, new friendships, muddy cleats, humid afternoons, and memories we’ll be talking about for a long time.
A special thank you to our vendors who weathered the weather right alongside us:
🍧 SJ’s Sno Cones
☀️ Summer’s Pantry
🍧 Kona Ice of Tyler
🍋 Sour Sisters Lemonade
📸 Brilliant Photograph
And to our amazing sponsors who helped turn an idea into reality:

This tournament was built by a community that believes in creating opportunities for kids to play, compete, and grow through soccer. Seeing teams from across the region come together this weekend made all the planning, preparation, and uncertainty worth it.
Thank you for being part of our first Summer Kick Off Classic. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back next year!
