37th Annual Silver State Invitational 2011

Nevada Youth Soccer Association (USYSNV) is very proud to be hosting their 37th Annual Silver State Invitational tournament, to be held on Jan. 29-30, 2011 in Las Vegas.

Based on input from many of our member teams and clubs, we have made some changes to include more age brackets and enhance the quality of the tournament. This year's tournament will include brackets for boys teams U-8 to U-19 and girls teams U-8 to U-14.

The tournament will offer different flights in each age group to enhance the quality of competition for all teams.

Historically, proceeds from the tournament have been used to assist with teams traveling to Regional competition, as well as helping to keep the association fees affordable to all members.

We appreciate in advance your team's participation in this year's event to assist in celebrating the 37th anniversary of one of the pioneer tournaments in the country. We are eager to make the 2011 version of this great tradition a memorable one for all participants.

The games will be played at the Bettye Wilson and Kellogg/Zaher soccer complexes. We are excited about the addition of the U-8 to U-10 groups to the competition. This will represent a mini-version of the Nevada State Cup by providing an opportunity for U-8 to U-10 local teams from different leagues to compete for bragging rights in respective age groups. With commitments received for full participation from member teams and clubs, we are anticipating a great competition for all age groups.

Tournament application is available online at the Nevada State web site www.usysnv.net or at www.silverstatetournament.com. Local teams are encouraged to apply for early acceptance by Nov. 20, 2010.
