ARLINGTON SPRING INVITATIONAL SOCCER TOURNAMENT

Arlington Soccer Association - Arlington & Falls Church, VAThe Arlington Travel Soccer Club is hosting the third annual Arlington Spring Invitational Tournament (ASIST) over two weekends this March.  Top boys teams from around the country will be playing on the weekend of March 1-2, while girls play the following weekend, March 7-9. 

In just a short time Arlington has established this tournament as one of the premier Spring pre-season events on the East Coast by utilizing the County's large number of all-weather artificial turf fields.  Putting on a tournament like this takes a lot of help, and they can always use some additional volunteers.  There are also some exciting sponsorship opportunities available. 

For more information, including how to help out, check out the ASIST website.
