WEST ORANGE (updated Friday August 5, 8:50 a.m.) – The inaugural “Over the Hill” Soccer Tournament/Fundraiser, hosted by the Mountain Top League, will take place Sunday, Aug. 28, at O’Connor Park.
The games will involve 4-on-4, with four to six players per team and no goalies. There will be two, 12-minute halves for each game. Each team will play two to four games. You can create your own team or sign up to be randomly placed.
No experience is necessary. Non-residents of West Orange are welcome to play Walk-up registration is also accepted. A fee is charged for each person.
This tournament is for recreational play only and is not overly competitive.
Said Jeremy Evans, a MTL Soccer Trustee: “At the Little Kicker field and the 3v3 soccer sessions, parents are always asking for adult pick up soccer games or adult soccer leagues. We figured MTL could offer something that would bring West Orange parents and residents together for a few hours and raise money to re-invest to help keep the cost of the different sport programs offered by MTL down.”
Chris McCree, another MTL Soccer Trustee, added: “We would love to see all aspects of the West Orange community come together and see teams made up of parents from other sports, neighborhoods, or schools and really make this a communal event.”
