Soccer Olympics Details

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - All teams MUST have a parent volunteer to help assist the team throughout Soccer Olympics. These parent volunteers will help keep score and guide the team to the correct event. 

Parent volunteers are required to check-in their team at least 20 minutes prior to the event starting at the check-in tent located in the middle of fields 1-4 at Scottsdale Sports Complex. Parent volunteers  will receive a scorecard that will help them keep score and a schedule of events.                    

NOTE - Not all players can participate in an event. Players must be divided evenly between events. Teams need at least 5 players to participate in Soccer Olympics.                                                                   

EVENT SCORING - Each event is worth 25 points. Team Leaders will update their scorecard with the # of points their team earned in the event. At the conclusion of Soccer Olympics, Team Leaders will return their scorecard to the check-in tent. Scores will be added up and winners will be announced immediately.

Be sure to pay attention to these announcements. Teams will participate in one heat with 6 players. Each player will dribble through the length of the lane with a ball. At the end of the lane they will pass the ball to the next player who will then repeat the same until all 6 players have gone. The RSL AZ Representative on the field will judge how teams finish.
