As the New Year kicks off, eight youth soccer teams will take to the court on Saturday, January 10 at KCU’s Lusby Center in Grayson. Each team will be competing for the title of New Year’s Champs in a fast-paced 3v3 futsal-style format that showcases skill, teamwork, and determination. The tournament will feature not only local teams, but also competitors traveling in from across the tristate area, with organizers noting the event is “drawing visitors and energy into the region.”
Brandon Glispie, one of the volunteers working with the event, explained that it was organized by local community members with a shared passion for youth soccer. The event, he continued, was designed to do more than crown a champion.
“The goal is to create positive opportunities for young athletes, encourage participation in sports, and introduce players to a competitive yet supportive environment that can help inspire youth, strengthen community connections, and set a positive tone for the year ahead,” Glispie said.
While registration for the event is closed, the tournament is open to spectators, he noted, with the event kicking off at 10 a.m. and running until 4 p.m.
