To All Legacy Freedom Cup Teams:

We have learned this morning that all the cites where the tournament was to play games have decided to close the fields due to wet field conditions and, in the cities assessment, prevent damage that would be caused by playing on them this weekend.  Multiple alternative sites were contacted and unfortunately the response was the same from every venue. Our tournament staff went through multiple scenarios with the venues, up to and including Sunday only, small sided and limited playing time. Regrettably, the feedback each time was that the damage potential was too great.

The Legacy Freedom Cup staff is very disappointed in not being able to provide the tournament experience we had all wanted and hoped for. We extend our thanks and deep appreciation to the over 215 teams, players, parents and coaches, the army of volunteers who worked tirelessly on bringing the tournament to life, GLASA soccer as the hosting association, Adidas and all the sponsors and supporters of this great event that wanted and tried to enjoy a great weekend of soccer.

The Legacy Freedom Cup will be calculating all paid expenses and attempting to negate any non-incurred expenses and will be issuing the maximum refund possible, to all the teams. The exact amount will be forthcoming either later today or over the weekend. Historical obligation has been to refund 50% of the tournament fee. To continue the tradition of exceeding expectations, our goal is to go beyond that.

Again, on behalf of the Legacy Freedom Cup, we want to express our thanks for your support of the Legacy Freedom Cup Tournament.

With Thanks,

Nancy Lane
Tournament Director, Legacy Freedom Cup
