–
The annual “Beach Blast” is a Beach Soccer Tournament hosted by the Cape Express Soccer Club with divisions for boys and girls U8 to U19, mens, womens and co-ed open. The event takes place every June on the weekend before “4th of July weekend” on the clean and expansive beaches of Wildwood. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the June event, CESC added a second separate tournament in mid-July.
What are the perks?
In addition to the soccer tournament, accepted youth teams (U8 to U19) to both of these great summer beach events will receive 10 wristbands for entry to Morey’s Piers amusement rides and waterparks all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Discounted entry to the amusement rides and waterparks is also available for the families of accepted teams. Friends and families can get 4-days of riding for the price of 1 day. All accepted teams will receive a link to Morey’s Pier’s online tournament store to purchase these wristbands directly from Morey’s Piers online.
How is the tournament structured?
Games are 5 v 5 – 4 plus keeper – maximum 10 players per team. Each game consists of 3, 12-minute periods. Games start on the hour. Substitutions will occur on the fly. Fields are 30 yards by 40 yards. Nylon webbing staked at the 4 corners and flags will delineate the fields. Each team will play 3 games (weather and other unforeseen conditions permitting) with a 4th possible for those advancing to the finals.
No shoes allowed!
Players must play in their bare feet – socks, tape and ankle braces are allowed but there can be no hard reinforcements in the ankle brace. Sports knee braces with metal support are fine.
