EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. – EDP Soccer has added a Fall Kickoff PA tournament to its annual schedule of more than 20 outdoor soccer events.

The Fall Kickoff PA event will take place August 11-12, 2018, at Big Vision Sports Complex in Leesport, Pa., near the Reading area, for teams age groups Under-8 through U-15.

“We are excited to bring the EDP tournament experience to Central PA,” EDP CEO Alan Shilling said. “Big Vision Sports Complex provides first-class facilities and with Leesport being centrally located between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, it is very accessible to teams throughout the region. We know we’ll be able to provide an exceptional soccer tournament weekend for everyone involved.”

Shilling also pointed to the quality of the venue, noting that Big Vision Sports Complex is a new facility with exceptional turf (it gets its sod from Tuckahoe Turf Farm in southern New Jersey, EDP’s main and largest tournament venue).
