Dave Shelton Memorial Cup

The Dave Shelton Memorial Cup is hosted by FC Heat and is a terrific way for teams to get ready for the start of league play.

The tournament takes place at Ryan Park, which is one of the best soccer facilities in Southern California, and is home to the New Year's Kick Off, the Presidio Cup, the State Cup and the Far West Regionals.

The complex offers 7 full-size soccer fields, wide sidelines for spectators, as well as ample space for warm-ups, permanent food and restroom facilities and plenty of free parking.

All younger teams (U14 and below) will play in Ryan. Older teams may play pool games at nearby schools, but their finals will be in Ryan.

Participation this year will be limited to about 120 teams so organizers do encourage early registration. Clubs that register at least of three teams will receive a $15 discount per team.
