3v3 Thankful Classic

Thanksgiving Weekend | Compete. Create. Give Back.

Kick off Thanksgiving weekend with fast-paced, competitive soccer at the 3v3 Thankful Classic! This tournament is designed to give players more opportunities to touch the ball, attack with confidence, express their creativity, and compete in an exciting environment.

The 3v3 format keeps every player involved in the action, creating constant opportunities for one-on-one battles, combination play, goal-scoring chances, and quick decision-making. With more space to showcase individual skills and fewer players on the field, every moment is an opportunity to make an impact.

Teams will compete against other teams within their respective age divisions, battling for tournament glory and the chance to take home championship medals. Whether your team is looking to compete at a high level, gain valuable experience, or enjoy a weekend of competitive soccer, the Thankful Classic offers an exciting opportunity for players of all abilities.

Beyond the competition, the Thankful Classic is also about giving back. Players and teams are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations to support the Hillside Food Pantry in Evanston and help make a difference in the local community.

Bring your team, showcase your skills, and celebrate the Thanksgiving weekend with great soccer and a great cause!
