The Rainier Challenge Tournament is proud to be celebrating its 18th year of competitive soccer for boys and girls around the Pacific Northwest. You are cordially invited to join us over the following weekends later this summer:
Girls U11 Dev through U18: August 6 - August 8
Boys U11 Dev through U18: August 13 - August 15
Please look around our site, see what we have to offer and join us for a great weekend of soccer. We take great pride in hostingone of the Pacific Northwest’s highest quality soccer tournaments. We strive to make this a fun, family event and we look forward to seeing you in Puyallup this summer.
UPDATE
Washington Premier F.C. wants to continue our Rainier Challenge tradition of providing a quality, competitive premier level tournament – with fields in good shape and ample parking available. After assessing our fields and parking lots because of the abnormal amounts of rain and looking ahead at the 10 day weather forecast, we feel we cannot provide the experience expected on the June dates.
Consequently, we are moving the 2010 Rainier Challenge to August 6th-8th (Girls Weekend) and August 13th-15th (Boys Weekend). We feel like this will be a “win/win” for all involved for the following reasons:
- Traditionally, the weather is better in August
- Fields will have dried out, all will be available and in good shape
- Our parking options will be dried out
- School will not be in session
- All games to be played at the Washington Premier F.C. Complex
- It will not interfere with any World Cup games – especially the U.S. vs. England
We regret that we had to move the tournament and for any inconvenience this may cause your team. However, we felt we had no option after assessing the fields/parking lot today. We do believe the rescheduling of the Rainier Challenge to August 5th–9th and 12th-15th will allow us to provide the quality tournament which you have come to expect (Please note: neither of these dates conflict with any Washington State premier level tournaments).
