How is the competition structured?  How will the day run?

Doors will open at 8:45 AM for check-in. Kids participating in the event will be directed to one of 8 goal stations based on their age (elementary, middle or high school) where they will line up to individually shoot on high school goaltenders.  They will make 10 kicks and then exit the field.  For safety reasons, it is important that all participants exit the field after they have completed their kicks.

 

This will continue until all contestants have kicked their 10 shots. Scorekeepers will keep track of all goals.  The top 3 scorers from each age group will get a prize and will move on to shoot against a celebrity goalie  The top scorer from that round, in each age group, will be announced the Grand Prize winners.  In the event of any ties, a separate shootout will take place to determine winners.

 

Do I have to stay for the full 3-hour event?
