The Battlefield Blast soccer tournament will be held August 24-25, 2019 at locations in and around historic Gettysburg, PA. This is a major Mid-Atlantic tournament, hosting both boys and girls teams, ages U9 through U18. Over the past several years, we have hosted upwards of 260 teams per tournament from all surrounding states and this year we expect more of the same.

Dear Participants and Families –

 

Gettysburg Youth Soccer and Elite Tournaments are proud to announce that we will be hosting a collection drive for troops and their families. All donations will be given to the United Service Organization’s (USO) location at Fort Meade. The USO develops programs and services which help support troops and their families throughout their time in service. 
 

All items can be dropped off at the headquarters location of each tournament site. If you have any questions or would like to donate and cannot attend the event, please contact Cara Martin at cmartin@elitetournaments.com
