Dear Club President, Director of Coaching
cc: Coach, Team Manager
Pike Soccer Club-Indy Burn invites your Club's U9-U19 teams to the 2nd annual Indy Burn Kapsalis Cup, April 13-15, 2012, Indianapolis.
As you help your travel teams organize their Spring 2012 season, will you please consider sending your teams to the Indy Burn Kapsalis Cup? We had nearly 200 teams in our first year. We now have Indianapolis Visitors & Convention Association booking great hotels at no added cost to you.
Save $1000! If you send 10 or more teams (any age) from your Club and register and pay for all teams with one check, you may deduct $100 per team (all ages). This $1000+ savings may not be combined with other offers and is a limited time offer.
Please be sure to block out the weekend in your league registration or reschedule this weekend after you get your league schedule. Indiana Champions League ICL teams: you will not have a league game this weekend as the season will begin the Wednesday-Thursday after.
Indy Burn Kapsalis Cup is a great pre-season or early season tournament. Indy Burn Kapsalis Cup offers 4 Academy - Round Robin 6v6 games for U8-U9-U10 teams**, and 3 different skill levels of play for each age/sex U11-U19. Registered teams are now posted. We are planning a premier team division and you could play premier teams not in your league/division.
Why should your teams spend their weekend at the Indy Burn Kapsalis Cup on the lush, green fields of the Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex, Eagle Creek Park, and Northwestway Park, Indianapolis?
- Experienced operators. For 16 years Pike Soccer Club & Indy Burn has hosted the best Indiana pre-season fall tournament, Pike Fest, which attracts over 250 teams annually.
