What is Supercuts SoccerFest 2010?

Mission Statement

"Striving to promote the idea of growth through sport, the UMass Sport Management Department presents Supercuts SoccerFest 2010. This dynamic festival provides a safe atmosphere of fun and fair play. We are an interactive community event using soccer as a uniting thread for athletes, students, and families."

Who we are

Supercuts SoccerFest 2010 is organized by the Event Management class of the University of Massachusetts' Sport Management Department. Representing one of the leading Sport Management Programs in the world, we are dedicated to organizing and running Supercuts SoccerFest with the utmost professionalism.

In its eighth year, this non-profit soccer tournament is solely supported by our Partners and participant registration fees. Tournament proceeds go toward the Erik Kjeldsen Scholarship Fund, named after former UMass Sport Management professor Dr. Erik Kjeldsen. Each year the Sport Management Department awards scholarships for two of its students who exemplify academic excellence and work ethic. In addition, this year Supercuts SoccerFest will be donating 10% of registration proceeds to the Banda Bola Foundation, an organization founded by former UMass soccer coach Kalekeni Banda.

Realizing the importance of sports for local youth, the Supercuts SoccerFest staff aims to build upon the relationship between the Pioneer Valley community and the UMASS men's and women's soccer teams. This year we are delighted to work with Amherst Youth Soccer Association. All AYSA players will participate in Supercuts SoccerFest 2010, making it the biggest spring soccer tournament for the entire community.

The Supercuts SoccerFest tournament will take place on
Saturday, May 1st at the University of Massachusetts.
