Love to ComPete

It is the perfect opportuity for players to get in some small-sided games against good competition prior to the start of the fall season. Clubs that sent teams to previous year’s events include Sachems FC, Stars of Mass, Boston Blast, SF Vikings, Delta FC, Nashua World Cup SC, and NESS. High school teams have included Winchester, Medford, Framingham, Franklin, Arlington Catholic, Bishop Fenwick, Arlington, Weston, and Acton-Boxboro.

All profits from the tournament go to the Peter French Memorial Foundation (hence the name Love to ComPete). Peter French was a Winchester native who passed away suddenly 6 years ago from a rare heart condition. A 3-sport captain for Winchester High School, he had recently graduated from Colgate University when he collapsed on the soccer field. Since his passing, his family has created the Foundation to help those in need and to provide medical research in ARVD, the heart condition from which he ulitimately died. This tournament, along with providing a fun, competitive, and sportsmanlike soccer tournament for the Greater Boston area, is the main fundraising effort of each year.
