Tournament of ChampioNS
Tournament of Champions (hosted by OC Youth Sports) is a series of sports tournaments for Irvine and Tustin school children in grades 3-8.
Sports include Volleyball, Soccer, Flag Football and Basketball.
How does it work?
Players register to participate on their school's team for each sport (registration is $50/player/sport). The school recruits parent volunteers to coach the teams (there are multiple teams for each sport: girls, boys - different grade levels). The teams practice to prepare for the "Tournament" weekend - where they'll play against other Irvine and Tustin schools.
When are the practices?
The practice days/times are chosen by our volunteer coaches- working as best they can with their team. They are typically hosted right after school at Hicks, but could be on a weekend or evening depending on the coach's schedule. Prior playing experience is not required, but your athlete will need to have the required gear for the sport to participate (shin guards, cleats for soccer, etc).
What happens Tournament Weekend?
Our Hicks Canyon teams will play against other schools for the opportunity to emerge as the Champion! Please note that specific game times are not set until the week of the event as organizers have to work with the number of teams registered and available fields/courts. All teams play at least 2 games... more if they progress in the bracket.
What does it take to be a Coach?
You do NOT have to be a pro athlete in the sport in order to coach - we're looking for parents who can dedicate a little time to practices and have a working knowledge of the sport! Learn more about coaching here!
