There are two tournaments going on simultaneously at Umass this weekend. The varsity teams (Mass Elite Red and White) are playing in the Mid-Summer Classic on the fields adjacent to the Mullen Center across the street from the Boyden gym. The youth and Junior Varsity (U16) team (Mass Elite Blue YOG 2013) are playing in the New England Tournament 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.
Concession stands will be available at the tournament.
Schedule, waiver and field map available one week before tournament

It is very busy this weekend in the pioneer valley. Hotels are hard to come by. Hotel information will be coming shortly.
