48th Annual University of Okoboji Invitational Soccer Classical

The 48th Annual University of Okoboji Youth Soccer Tournament will be held this Saturday and Sunday, June 7th & 8th at the Bedell Family YMCA in Spirit Lake Iowa. The tournament will be played on the seven fields and will be hosting 64 youth soccer teams. Boji Soccer Classic is a nonprofit corporation focused exclusively on advancing the social welfare of school-age students and their families by providing a two-day soccer tournament each year. Boji Soccer Classic was created in January of 2020 to take over the functions of an already-established youth soccer tournament held in Okoboji, Iowa. Each year Boji Soccer Classic will plan, host, and execute a tournament in or near Okoboji, Iowa for parochial school children from the Omaha, Nebraska area who participate in the Catholic Youth Soccer League throughout the school year. This provides a fun opportunity for children who participate in recreational soccer to attend a traveling tournament, to grow closer with their teammates, and to focus on strengthening their skills and confidence in a soccer program. The tournament advances the social welfare of the community by providing a space for children to socialize, advance valuable skills, create health lifestyles, gain positive relationships and play soccer.
