Annual "Seven on Seven" Soccer Tournament
North Andover, MA — July 15-16, 2006 —
This popular early summer event, for Boys and Girls Premier and Town Travel teams - U8, 9, 10, 11,
12 and U14, 16, and 18 divisions, provides a great opportunity to wrap up the spring or to preview the fall
season. Teams are comprised of six field players and a goalie using a field of play about sixty yards long by
fifty yards wide with full sized goals (8’ x 24’). Fields have a full grass surface and all games for Ben's "Seven on Seven" Tournament are held in the same location, with one referee per game.
Bringing together the best possible teams from the New England area and around the
country, age groupings at the premier level are limited to the top eight teams, unless the number of quality teams
demands a bigger draw.

touch either the ground or a player in his half.
