FAQ

Frequently AskedQuestions

Have a question not answered here? Don't hesitate to reach out to our team directly.

How long are tournaments at the Coliseum?

The average tournament runs 3–4 hours. We have found that most teams don't enjoy rest times in tournaments extended past the sufficient amount needed to recover and feel energized for their next game. Our staff works very hard to efficiently structure tournaments in a way that provides the most enjoyable and developmentally sound experience.

What time will my team play in their tournament?

Official tournament schedules will be emailed to you 5–7 days before the tournament. As a guideline, we are typically open for tournament play on the weekends from 8:00 am or 9:00 am into the evening. The youngest age groups usually start in the early part of the day, and start times for tournaments advance progressively with age. There may be exceptions at times to this structure.

I want to register two teams in the same tournament and age bracket, but GotSport doesn't let me?

In order to register two teams in the same age group you need to have two different team accounts but they can be under the same GotSport account. To add a 2nd team, use the Search field on the right side of page, type in the name of the new team, hit search. It will not find the team and prompt you to 'Create a Team.'

Are your tournaments flighted?

We are proud to say that our arena attracts more teams every weekend in each age group than any other venue in the Northeast Region. This gives us an opportunity to better flight brackets and give teams a competitive experience, although flighting may not occur in every bracket on a given weekend.

What is the appropriate type of shoes for players to wear during games?

Players must wear soccer turf shoes or sneakers. Cleats are not allowed.

Can we purchase food and drinks at the Soccer Coliseum?

Yes, we have a fully staffed concession stand where we serve food, beverages, and snacks with healthy choices.

Are dogs/cats allowed in the Soccer Coliseum?

No, pets are not allowed in the arena unless it is a service animal and the owner has proof of that.

Accepted worldwide as the most effective game for developing youth players
The national youth game of Brazil, credited with creating the highest number of international superstars from one country
Fast becoming the format of choice in many US states, now mandated into the national academy program by the US Soccer Federation
Provides over 300% more touches, shots, passing combinations, and one on one confrontations compared to 8V8 format
Allows for better tactical development. Fewer players on the field allows players to track teammates and opponents, allowing for better awareness of time and space

5V5 develops the brain, accelerates technical and tactical development, allows coaches to actually mentor their young players, and it's just more fun. Why would you play anything else?
