The first annual Winter Breakout 3v3 soccer tournament hosted by NorthStar and Homewood Soccer Clubs turned out to be quite successful. The event was held on Saturday, February 20, and the weather could not have been better.

Over 60 teams registered for the tournament, and all players and parents had a day full of great soccer competition. Volunteers representing NorthStar worked in the concession stand, scoring, and score running. Our score runners were the Samford Women's Soccer team. Games began at 9am and concluded around 5:30pm. Each team was guaranteed a minimum of three games, with a possible semi-finals and finals depending on standings after the round robin run.

NorthStar had four teams in the tournament - two boys and two girls teams in the U9 and U10 brackets. Though the teams did no fare as well as hoped, the players had a great experience playing against some of the best competition in Birmingham.

All proceeds will be split evenly between NorthStar and Homewood Soccer Clubs. Including sponsorships, the tournament proceeds fund the majority of the spring soccer program! Thanks to all who helped make this possible for NorthStar Soccer Club!
