Arsenal America is looking to field sides in MLS's "Futbolito" tournaments around the country this summer. We are currently looking for seven players per city for the following locations:
July 1 Salt Lake City
July 8 Philadelphia
July 15 D.C.
July 29 New York
August 5 Chicago
August 19 New Jersey
September 2 Denver
September 9 Phoenix
September 16 Los Angeles
September 23 San Jose
MLS charges $125 per team ($120, plus $5 processing fee), which, divided among seven players, comes out to just under $18 a person, not including official Arsenal America shirts (of which each person will need two - one red, one blue). We are planning to enter teams into the less cut-throat Recreational division. One downside of the whole tournament - no co-ed teams. :( Otherwise, this sounds like a great opportunity to get together, and to further raise awareness of Arsenal America as a rising force in the American soccer/football community.
To learn more about the Futbolito tournament, check out the MLS's site:

I'd love to play in NY, but it's my weekend "on." I could probably get the day off if we're entering a team there.
I'm free the days of the Philly and NJ tourneys, but I don't know how usefull I'd be after driving to Philly (or NJ, depending on where it is).

I'm interested in Chicago. The web site says August 6, not August 5.

I'd play in LA if we could get a team together - I'm sure Neil would join up, but not sure if anyone else would join us. SPLARA10 possibly. Just need at least 4 more. Maybe Gazza would join us from the 2Gs. With 14 surgerys on his knees I'm not sure.

Hmm. I just noticed that too. I copied that list from the registration section of the MLS site. Hmm...

That is suprising with all the Mexicans there you'd think they would have one in each city. Salt Lake is a suprise to me - Mormons don't play football, they just take several wives, don't drink or smoke.
