AFC Lightning invites you to enter Lightning's Sizzlin' Summer Soccer, August 15-16, 2009.
As an early pre-season tournament our objective is to provided coaches with a venue to experiment with new ideas and to integrate new players into your team's system. Sizzlin' Summer Soccer will provide you with three competitive games without the pressure of vying for a trophy. This is your opportunity to see what you have and still give you time to make adjustments in training before you get to the bigger Labor Day tournaments or the start of your season.
