WELCOME!
We’d like to extend a warm welcome to all coaches, players, and spectators who’ll be attending the 4th annual 2012 GRFC Winter Classic Tournament.
We started the Winter Classic with the hopes of having a high level competition where teams could prepare for State Cup in one of the top level tournaments in Washington State. In this short period, we believe we have accomplished our goal, while attracting a record high of 240 teams this year. Games will be played across 10 locations and 20 fields in the greater Renton community.
We strive to give you the best possible competition and a customer experience like no other. On behalf of our tournament committee we would like to say thank you for your involvement and appreciate your support. Best of luck to all the teams this year!
Headquarters will be at Starfire Complex under the big Tent along with a soccer store provided by Soccer West, stop by to see all the scores on our interactive TV’s and iPads. We will also be introducing QR Codes at every site of the schedules, so make sure you download your QR Scan App, to keep updated with your team.
