Why should your teams spend their weekend at the Indy Burn Cup on the beautiful fields of the Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex, Eagle Creek Park, and Northwestway Park, Indianapolis?    

1. Experienced operators.  For 18 years we've hosted the best Indiana pre-season fall tournament, Pike Fest, which attracts over 230 teams annually and the 230+ team Indy Burn Cup in April.    
2. Quality competition.  Indy Burn Cup offers multiple divisions per age group which ensures quality competition for all skill levels.
3. Great Refs.  Indy Burn Cup utilizes only great referees, assigned by Indiana's best assignors Ray Sahm and Dave Howard.
4. Indy Parks. Indy Burn Cup is held in 3 beautiful Indy Parks: the Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex; Eagle's Crest (both in Eagle Creek Park) and Northwestway Park.  The Parks are a couple blocks from I-465, I-65, and I-74 on the NW side of Indianapolis.  This year we are using fields in Avon Soccer Complex as well. 
5. Great facilities.  The Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex is one of the finest soccer facilities in central Indiana in one of the largest City owned parks in the country.
6. Good priced hotels and shopping centers are 10 to 15 minutes from the fields. 
7. Indy Burn Cup is centrally located.  Indianapolis is less than 2 or 3 hours away from Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago, Dayton, Columbus, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, and Champaign.  Many teams are from Michigan and Ohio.
8. Team Manager friendly: check in anytime before first game including typical Friday night or at the HQ tent an hour before first game. Only one unique form: tournament roster.
9. Out of town teams: we've lined up good rates at close by hotels including several with pools for "team bonding experience."  Teams needed hotel rooms must use Visit Indy no cost booking service with liberal cancelation policy and a personal advisor to be certain the team is properly serviced.
10. There is a shopping center just blocks from the hotels with movie theaters, ice cream shops, pizza and pasta and full menu restaurants, coffee shops, and a large sporting goods store (Dick's).
