Tracy United to host boys tournament

So far, 37 boys teams, from under-11 to under-16, have signed up to participate. They include four teams from Tracy: the under-11 Division 1 Tracy United Crossfire, under-12 Division 1 Tracy United Quakes, under-14 Division 1 Tracy United Gladiators, and the under-14 Division 3 Tracy United Chaos.

“We are excited about this tournament. Last year it was very competitive,” Jose Torres, coach of the Gladiators, said Tuesday.

His team was the under-13 division champion in the tournament last year and took second place two years ago, but the guest teams made them work for last year’s title.

“Our team has improved a lot, and the level of competition makes this a tournament for all of the teams to look at,” he said.

Most games will be at Plasencia Fields, with under-15 and under-14 games at the Sports Complex on Saturday, and under-16 games at the Sports Complex on Sunday. Championship games for the under-14 and under-13 games Sunday will also be at the Sports Complex.

It will be the second-to-last weekend in the California Youth Soccer Association 2007-08 season, with final games to be played Aug. 23 and 24. Tracy United hosted the local girls tournament two weeks ago, with 47 teams at the invitational tournament Aug. 2 and 3.
