Challenge Soccer
Tournaments bring positive experiences and life enriching activities to our
children and help raise funds for non-profit organizations.
Sportsmanship and Fair Play, on the soccer field and in life, is our
first priority.
Challenge Tournaments
are managed by a company called Florida Challenge Sports Events, Inc., more
commonly known as "Challenge Sports". Challenge Sports has
helped non-profit organizations raise more than $1,000,000 since the first
Greater Melbourne Holiday Challenge in 1988! Challenge Sports also offers
"tournament consulting" help to soccer clubs.
Since the first
Greater Melbourne
Holiday Challenge in 1988, more than 1,000,000 people (from far
away as Moscow, Russia) have participated in Challenge Tournaments! In
October of 1996, the
Brevard Fall Challenge was introduced over the Columbus Day
weekend. In 1998 the
Palm Bay Spring Challenge
was
introduced on the first weekend of May. In 1999, Challenge
Sports added
the Ormond Beach
Challenge in January and the
Melbourne Area Girls Labor Day Challenge in
September. In 2003 the
Vero Beach Boys Labor Day Challenge . Challenge Sports has
held other Club fundraising full-sided Challenges such as the
Treasure Coast
President's Day Challenge, the
Treasure Coast United
Challenge, the Central Florida United Challenge, the
Lakeland Spring
Challenge and the
Naples Shark Shootout
Challenge.
In 2000, 3v3 Challenges were started! Now there is a 3v3 Challenge
TOUR, culminating with the
3v3 Challenge National Championship each
summer at
Disney’s Wide World of Sports®
Complex!
Challenge Sports is
active in community and charitable activities. Challenge Sports has
gathered soccer equipment for the children in Bosnia, provided soccer balls
to local needy children, sent soccer balls and shirts to the children of
Chernobyl in the Ukraine, to Honduras, China and other places in need.
Challenge Sports has participated in the Sports For Life Program, promoting
a tobacco-free healthy lifestyle for young athletes. Challenge Sports
also shipped
boxes of soccer shirts and equipment to soccer clubs that were devastated by
the 2004 Hurricane Katrina. Challenge Sports awards
Challenge Tournaments College Scholarships each year to High School
Seniors!
I hope this gives you an
overall view of our CHALLENGE tournaments and that
you will be able to participate in some way. See you at the next Challenge!
