 WESTON CUP & SHOWCASE 
Florida’s premier Presidents’ Day Weekend tournament for boys and girls teams. In 2011, the Weston Cup had 454 teams from throughout Florida, multiple states, and international teams from Ireland and the Dominican Republic that competed at four facilities which included over 30 playing fields. Teams from outside Florida, including international teams participate each year. The tournament will offer four levels of competition: Showcase, Gold, Silver, and Bronze for U9 through U19 boys and girls teams, plus a special U8 division (U9 Future Stars). For 2012 we are expecting over 450 teams from out-of-state, across Florida, and internationally. Presidents’ Day Weekend festivities, including rides and games, will be held at nearby park facilities, making the overall weekend a festive event for all players, parents, family members and coaches.
