Thanks for coming

On behalf of our Yak Attack staff, Jane and I would like to thank all of you for coming and making our tournament a festive atmosphere. It was and still is our goal to make the best tournament experience for all players regardless wins/losses which a lot tournaments gauge success. We also enjoy feedback. Tell us what you liked what you didn't like. Feedback is what makes us better. We gather in a couple of weeks to go over notes so feedback from you is important. Tell us what we did right and where we need improvement on. Thanks for coming

Field Numbering

A little change of field numbering due to an over anxious field painter who fell asleep at throttle. Fields 12, 13, and 14 are a little weird and do not fit what is printed in the program. Just follow the Field banners that are labeled at the fields and you will be fine. No worries.

Player Change Form

The player change form has been taken off the web as I need Jane in the last 48 hours to get ready for the tourney. All changes can still take place, just bring them to the field WITH VERIFICATION. Thanks. Please don't email the changes as we don't have the books to update.

OLD SOCCER SHOES

We are having another outreach program at the Yak Attack. This is about your old soccer cleats that your kids have outgrown and sitting somewhere in the bottom of the closet. Bring them to the Yak Attack and you/your player will have a special speedball section where we will record three of your shots with a radar gun. Help us out by donating these soccer cleats so that we may pass them along to families that can't afford to get soccer cleats. This is one of the many poutreach programs that the Yak Attack helps. Soccer families helping soccer families. Please donate your shoes

What is in store

We are finalizing the cast of teams entering. Looks like we will be pulling 3-4 teams from the waitlist this weekend. We will start refunding money on Monday for those of you who have paid. We simply filled up before the deadline. With the economy and the different tryout structure the state did this year, I expected the numbers to be down. I never thought we would have exceeded the limit. We had about 218 teams apply.

We will go to scheduling starting near the end of this next week. We will proof it over the weekend and then post by next Sunday, Monday or the lastest Tuesday. Then you will proof it and notifiy the mistakes that we made. We do this by hand and not through a program simply because of coaches with multiple teams and multiple requests. The number one request: late morning games. We are full to the max, so somebody has to expect to play early morning games.

SURVIVOR SUNDAY

Survivor Sunday is a special feature that this tournament offers that no other tournament has. All teams, U-11 and above, play three games on Saturday. Points are tallied and each team in the age bracket is awarded a seed number at the end of the day. Sunday play is based on seeding where play is similar to the NCAA basketball tournament. All teams play on Sunday. Survivor Sunday simply means if you win, you play again. If you lose, your tournament play ends. Before each game, we play the Survivor theme song then sound the buzzer and drop the ball. Of course, the higher the seed, the easier the path. Survivor Sunday is designed to play every other half hour which depending on the size of the bracket, you could end up playing an additional four games on Sunday. If a game ends in a tie on Survivor Sunday, both teams go to Tribal Council where a shootout ~~Yak Attack style occurs; a shootout against my hay bale goalie.~~ IAW FIFA Shootout Rules

CODE FOUR UNIFORM CONTEST

Once again, Code Four Athletic Apparel Company is sponsoring a uniform contest. This event is one of the trademarks of the Yak Attack. Teams are encouraged to make their own uniforms for this event and many teams come to the event with some awesome looking and funny looking uniforms. We parade all the teams across the main stage and introduce each team to the crowd. Uniforms have to in good taste and three winners are awarded; Boys, Girls, and Grand Champion. Each winning team wins a $200.00 gift certificate from Code Four Athletic Apparel Co. Contest starts at 12:45 on Saturday.

YAK ATTACK FOOD DRIVE

Another unique feature of the Yak Attack is our Northwest Harvest Food Drive. We encourage our teams to gather food and drop it off at the designated drop off point. Whether it is a bag of food or boxes of food, all is welcomed. We want our kids helping other kids who are less fortunate. Each team that brings a sack of food gets a thank you shout out over the PA system. We award one local team and one out-of-town team who brings in the most food, Aladin Limousine will pick up the team in their 19 seat Excursion limousine and drop off the kids at the Yak Attack tourney Headquarters.
