Are your teams interested?
3v3 Soccer Tournament - JUNE 2012
Just wanted to provide the few updates we have since I posted this back in DEC 2011. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote again, just wanted to provide updates and see if there were any other interested teams.
We are a Non-Profit 501(c)3 Organization; Building Smiles Foundation and we are working on creating a Spring from JUNE 01-03, 2012 3v3 Tournament to benefit our mission.
That mission is to bring smiles and entertainment to families dealing with Childhood Cancer. We are working on setting up a Digital Library (DVDs, games, game consoles, tablets, etc) for when families are in the hospital -- and -- providing entertainment when not in the hospital; sporting events, movies, bowling, mini-golf, etc.
We know soccer is HUGE in North Texas and would like to invite both REC and ACADEMY/SELECT teams to play in a 3v3 Tournament. Based on interest, we will be also get Event Insurance (due to weather, etc) and Corporate/Company Sponsors so we can provide freebies to the athletes, as well as Medals and Participation T-shirts.
This currently is a preleminary poll/inquisition to see the interest. We are currently talking to the Plano, Lewisville and Little Elm PARD for fields.
Challenge Sports has reached out to us, as being a tournament for the Top 4 Qualifiers to 3v3 National at Walt Disney World in Aug 2012
Thanks for your time!

May is a BUSY month for tournaments. The first weekend of May would be a good weekend (usually, the only major conflict is State Cup), or anytime in the month June would be good.

Thanks @coachdom23 - We will consider that information when trying to get fields and set a date. Since we would like a Great Turnout, we will try to avoide the State Cup. Any ETA on what days that will be?

So hopefully that will raise some interests as well from some teams (both REC & Academy)

You will get a good turnout in Rec and Academy and Premier-Level teams, the first weekend of State Cup (usually, 1st weekend in May), because there is little competition from other tournaments. Any other weekend in May is packed full of 3-8 competing tournaments, each weekend. I would shoot for June.

UPDATE
Txsoccer02 wrote:What is the status of this (fields / dates / qualifying / cost)? Haven't seen anything in regards to advertising and I know it will sneak up on you and be to later pretty soon. We should be able to bring a few teams (02's, 03's & 04's) from West of DFW depending on specifics.
We are still working with Plano and Little Elm PARD's; however we are planning on the 3v3 Tournament to be from FRI June 1st through SUN June 3rd. We are working with Challenge Sports, but are hoping the Cost will be $150 for the 3v3 (U6-U10 - Max Roster Six) and $175 for 4v4 (U11-14 - Max Roster Eight).
We are working with several radio stations and newspapers for ads, but aren't sure on that yet, since we want more funds to go to our Charity (Building Smiles Foundation) to help the families dealing with Childhood Cancer.
I hope to have more information by middle of next week.

Just looked at Kick It 3v3 and there is an Austin, TX and Oklahoma City, OK the weekend of 06/01-06/03.
Saw that 3v3 Live has one in The Colony the same week.
http://www.3v3live.com/page/show/85983-june-4-dallas-tx
How many teams do the 3v3 Live? Should we change weekends to 06/08-06/10? Looking for thoughts, opinions, suggestions.
Thanks!!

UPDATE
We even spoke with NTSSA this morning and will be sanctioned by them.
A dedicated website for Registration, Rules, etc should be up by early second week of April.
We are working with a few other minor details, but should have all that settled by 04/08/2012.
Thanks for all that have provided feedback and hope to see as many of you that we can.
