What are Soccer Festivals?

Soccer festivals are small mini-tournaments. They provide multiple, small sided games per event for each team. Benefits include playing in an unpressured format, lots of touches on the ball, with a focus on player development versus winning. Depending on skill level, GRSC Competition Development teams will either travel to participate in a festival or host other Northern NJ teams in their equivalent age group depending on availability.
