Umass MID-SUMMER CLASSIC at Umass Amherst
Location: UMASS, Amherst, MA near Mullin Center
Day/Date: Sat/Sun ~ July 10 and 11, 2010
Mid Summer for High School Red Team and YOG 2011/2012 Team (White Team).
There are two tournaments going on simultaneously at Umass this weekend. The HS varsity teams, Mass Elite Red and White (YOG 2011/2012) are playing in the Mid-Summer Classic on the fields adjacent to the Mullen Center across the street from the Boyden gym. The youth (Green and Silver) and HS Blue team (YOG 2013) are playing on fields near the Football Stadium. You can walk between the two but it is a long walk. There is a large parking lot that connects the two areas. If you park there you can easily drive between the two.
