 About Dave - Dave was the Challenge Sports and Steamboat  Powdercats Photographer before he broke his neck in Dec 2006,

while photographing on the mountains in Colorado.

   Some of you remember Dave, who might have taken your photo on the soccer fields or on the mountains.

Dave also built many of the videos you may see on YouTube.

    Update on Dave (12-1-12) - Dave had spinal cord surgery in November. 

Hopefully this procedure will decrease his pain and increase his quality of life.  He was back home in time for Christmas!

 

 

 

ABOUT CHALLENGE TOURNAMENTS

January 2013

______________________________________________________________

 

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 money, 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 2,000,000 people (from far away as Moscow Russia, Brazil, Venezuela, Cayman Islands, Canada and China) have participated in Challenge Tournaments!  In October of 1996, the Brevard Fall Challenge was introduced over the Columbus Day weekend.  In 1998 the Spring Challenge was introduced on the first weekend of May. Later Challenge Sports added the Melbourne Area Girls Labor Day Challenge and the Boys Labor Day Challenge in September. Challenge Sports has held other Club fundraising full-sided Challenges such as the Ponte Vedra Storm Winter Challenge, the Treasure Coast United Challenge, the Central Florida United Challenge, the Lakeland Spring Challenge, and many more.   In 2000, 3v3 Challenges were started!  Now there is a 3v3 Challenge TOUR, where teams qualify for the  Challenge 3v3 National Championship held each summer at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World®  Resort, Florida.!

 

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, Guatemala, China, Haiti and other places in need, including to children in the USA.  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 2005 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.  if your organization is interested in hosting a Challenge Tournament you can contact us.  See you at the next Challenge!
