Welcome to the 2022 Tournament,

Gates Youth Soccer, located just west of Rochester, NY,  presents the Metros FC Tournament and Festival, hosted by the Gates Metros. In 2020 this tournament hosted over 120 teams. We thank you for joining us for this fun and competitive travel soccer event taking place July 15-17, 2022.

All entering teams must provide proof of insurance and a valid player and staff roster from their respective organization. There will be no exceptions. The tournament director may reject applications for teams who cannot provide appropriate credentials.

We work closely with Pellucid Travel to not only source the best hotels, but contract with a variety of hotels to fit all accommodations. We request to work with a wide variety of lodging partners in order to also secure excellent rates for all of our teams. In order to achieve this, we have a Stay to Play policy so that the hotels, cities, and counties are assured that the discounts they offer are used. We work closely with our lodging partners to track team reservations and the stay to play policy as well as ensure that there are enough rooms for all teams attending the event.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Pellucid info@pellucidtravel.com . We will make sure that your teams are taken care of and in the best fit.

* All team entries are eligible to compete in three matches
** Certain groups may be eligible for a championship match, or in some cases may play a fourth match to decide winner
