FRISCO, Texas (May 17, 2012) – Orem, Utah will host the Kohl’s US Youth Soccer American Cup, the largest recreational youth soccer tournament in the United States, at Lakeside Sports Complex from June 22-23, 2012. The Under-6 through Under-18 boys and girls participating will bring together 65 teams on 15 soccer fields for the 2nd annual Kohl’s American Cup held in Orem.

 

The Kohl’s American Cup offers youth soccer players an opportunity to play in a high-quality tournament in a fun, family-like atmosphere. The program was started in 2000 as an avenue to highlight recreational soccer players and promote fair play. Players receive equal opportunities and benefits within their level of play, with an emphasis on participation, rather than competition.

 

The Kohl’s American Cup Soccer Experience will add even more excitement to the Orem Kohl’s American Cup. The Soccer Experience comes complete with three larger-than-life inflatable soccer games, numerous prizes and souvenirs for participants and their families.

 

This event is one of over 60 Kohl’s American Cup tournaments being held from March to December. All tournaments are open to players registered with a US Youth Soccer State Association recreational league.
