Don't forget, we will be hosting the Azalea City Cup this August, which is a full-sided tournament, and we've already been contacted by clubs as far away as Texas. We will be splitting the tournament into multiple locations due to space constraints, but once the Soccer Complex is completed, everything will be centralized and the tournaments can get huge. Mobile United plans to host an international tournament once the complex is built.”

Based out of Utah, 3v3 Live has existed since 1996 and is a major soccer tour in the United States with tournaments being played all over the country. Each team may only have three players on the field at a time and is commonly referred to as a “small-sided” game played on a field smaller than a regulation soccer pitch. With fewer players on the field, each player has more opportunities to touch the ball, using and improving their soccer skills. Small-sided games can develop player’s decision-making, technical attributes, tactical knowledge and physical conditioning through functional movements. For more info, visit www.3v3live.com.
