Dear Soccer in the Pines Tournament Teams, Players and Friends,
After 15 incredible years of managing Soccer in the Pines, I’m thrilled to announce that I am transferring management of the tournament into the capable hands of Arizona Sports League / Small Goal Soccer. This decision ensures the event you love will continue to thrive under new, capable hands.
Arizona Sports League, led by the experienced Adam Thelwell, brings a wealth of resources and a strong regional network to keep the tournament running smoothly. Rest assured, the tournament’s format will remain largely unchanged, preserving the experience you’ve come to expect.
You will be notified when tournament registration opens for next year, and new registration links will be provided at that time. For any questions, please reach out to Adam at [email protected].
On a personal note, I’m excited to join you on the field next May... if my division has enough teams. I can enjoy the game without the stress of managing the whole event solo!
Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you at the tournament.
Best regards,
Will Bullock
