This is the second year I have put together a 6v6 womens soccer tournament in Cache Valley. It was so much work last year that I swore that I would never do it again, but I did. The reason I even thought of putting together a soccer tournament is because there are no Adult soccer tournaments that are not on Sunday. I played college soccer at Utah State and we played our games on Sunday. It was hard to do then but even harder as a mom who wants to be an example for her kids. Growing up all soccer tournaments were on Sunday and I always played it was the only way to get recruited at a collegiate level. I think that if one tournament started having their games not on Sunday maybe everyone would follow. It is sad that we live in the state of Utah and all soccer tournaments are on Sunday. If any state should set the example it should be Utah. So I have refused to play any more games on Sunday and put this tournament together because I love to compete. It was a sport that I was so passionate about that it took over my life completely. So even though I am old I still love the game and will continue to put this tournament on as long as I can play. It was fun to play with my three sisters and some players that I played with in college

It was a lot of fun to catch up with you after all these years. Thanks for all the hard work you did putting this tournament together.
Look at you setting a good example for your kids and leading the way for others! I admire your ambition!
My first thoughts were that it looked really green for Price and then I realized you were in Cache Valley. Grass is a little easier to grow there. :)
