U9-U12 Super Rec Cup Returns to Sacramento this Weekend

After successfully hosting the older version of the competition two weekends ago, the U9-U12 Super Rec Cup is set to kick off this Saturday and Sunday at two different locations.

Cherry Island Soccer Complex in Rio Linda and Granite Regional Park in Sacramento will play host to the end-of-season tournament that has become a staple of the schedule for recreational teams from all across the state.

Overall, 102 teams from 45 different clubs will play in 170 games to determine champions in 17 different divisions over the two days of action in the Sacramento area.

“Now five years in, the Super Rec Cup is something that each recreational team in Northern California looks forward to playing in at the end of their eight-week seasons,” said NorCal Grassroots Development Manager Andrew Taylor. “We’re looking forward to another festive weekend of soccer where players of any level can play in a fun and competitive environment.”

This year is the first year that NorCal Premier Soccer has moved the U14 age group to the older division thanks to the younger age groups selling out in the past.

“We want to continue growing the younger age groups to truly become a start-to-finish program,” Taylor said. “The clubs do such a good job of running leagues and managing teams in-house at these ages, so to have an end-of-season tournament outside of their own club is super important to us. We hope that every player graduates to the older age groups and continues playing soccer in the future.

Unlike the older age groups, which are split into multiple years per division, the younger Super Rec Cup will feature U9, U10, U11, and U12 divisions.

Each team is guaranteed three group stage games before the top team from each group advances to its respective final, which will be played Sunday afternoon.
