Introducing The Juice, a high-energy soccer event powered by DME Academy, Sarasota. Mark your calendars for Jan 4th – 5th, 2025, as this action-packed tournament kicks off in the vibrant Sarasota area. We will be supporting Sarasota County and playing across a few locations including Tatum Ridge Fields, Twin Lakes, and Fruitville Park.
The Juice welcomes soccer teams of all ages and both genders, from 2016 through 2006 birth years. Whether you’re a rising star or a seasoned player, this event offers an opportunity to showcase your skills and passion for the game in a typically slow month for clubs and leagues in Florida and beyond.
Coaches and Clubs -see what your teams look like coming out of tryouts and for those teams that are playing/competing in the Nationals for EA, NAL, DPL, ECLNR, ECNL or MLS can get some extra games to stay sharp for June and July action!
With a different approach to traditional soccer tournaments, we max out our brackets at eight teams and play a double-elimination style of play. Teams can still expect a minimum of three games, ensuring plenty of action and opportunities to shine. Seeding is based on seasonal performance, rankings from GotSoccer, Youth Soccer Rankings, and other league-based websites.
