The Kohl’s American Cup at USA Youth Appleton

On April 27 Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association, in conjunction with the East Central District, sponsored the Kohl’s American Cup event at an academy play date. The event featured 30 teams at the U8-U10 age level and included boys and girls divisions. Teams from Everton FC of Wisconsin, FC Green Bay, United Soccer of Allouez, De Pere Select, Kimberly Area Soccer Association, Appleton Soccer Club and Menasha FC participated in the event.
The Kohl's US Youth Soccer American Cup provides recreational youth soccer players an opportunity to experience a consistent and high quality statewide tournament in a fun, family-like atmosphere. It fosters stimulation and excitement about soccer in an effort to increase the recreational player’s interest in and love for the game. We want the recreational player to feel special and have fun! The Kohl's American Cup can achieve this by providing recreational players with the opportunity to participate in an original event outside of their normal league play. The American Cup gives US Youth Soccer State Associations another benefit to bring even more service to current members and a tool to use in increasing membership enrollment.
The Kohl’s American Cup was a great way to kickoff the East Central Academy play dates!
