We are looking for youth to walk along side our college players to the center of the field before each match, just like in the World Cup.
We are looking for at least 11 kids, but the more who would like to participate the better. Know which team you would like to walk onto the field with? Then RSVP today! The game assignments will be placed on a first come first serve basis. Please RSVP by emailing Nicole Halls (nhalls@apterainc.com). Please include the following:

Also, there will be a competition for Team Spirit between the 2 teams that walk out with the Universities at the start of the game. Whatever team has the most spirit and is the loudest in support for their team will win a prize at the end of the game.
