Ryan has led a team to this tournament the past 6 years. 2022 we brought the most players ever with filling 5 teams. Three men's teams and two womxn's teams, with our Division 2 men's team winning it all. 2020 was huge in that we brought our first women's team in addition to two all gender teams. Our D1 team took first yet again, incredible! In 2019 we brought two teams and earned a first and second place finish with both teams in the top division of play. In 2017 and 2018, we placed 2nd in Division 1. In 2016, we placed 3rd in Division 1. It's been an incredible journey each year.

Other Tournament Insights

Many tournaments exist throughout the year

We'd like to attend any and all tournaments, and we support you as an individual registering as a free agent at any time. You can find the most current tournament board at www.nagaysoccer.com 

not all tournaments are equal

Sometimes we advocate against attending a tournament for a number of reasons, and we'll try to note why anytime we object to the tournament. 


June 2023 - The IGLFA is seeking to host a North American tournament in St Pete, Florida. We vehemently oppose this tournament as we as members of the IGLFA were snubbed in voting on this measure. The tournament was sold essentially to the convention and visitor bureau willing to give money to the IGLFA and free travel for site visits and such. Not to mention the team fee is 30% higher than any other tournament. Lastly, Florida does not deserve to have LGTBQ specific tourism dollars until they behin to reverse course on their hate legislation. 


National Sports Center Blaine Tournamentd - we've encountered numerous incidents with leadership of NSC Blaine soccer events failing basic commitments to inclusion and allyship between 2018 and 2022. We've encountered extreme violence at their tournaments and homophobia, and while that eventually led to the ejection of a team from the tournament 3 games in, it was not without intense advocacy, and they refunded that team in full effectively giving that team no penalty for their harm. 

Our Travel Secret

A Preferred Miles Card

A Delta Amex can help you achieve travel easily to a tournament. We can also help you meet your minimum spend by letting you charge a club expense and reimbursing you in full. Disclosure: the offer varies monthly and is subject to change. Gray Ducks may receive a referral bonus in the form of miles for you signing up.
