Tournament Awards
- For the safety of players and parents, there will be no formal presentations of awards as is usually done.
- For brackets with a Championship Final match, awards will be delivered to the field at the completion of the competition for distribution by the coach. Please do so by moving to an area far away from the field as there may be a match following yours.
- For Round Robin brackets, 1st and 2nd place teams need to send one representative to the site’s headquarters to pick up medals to take back to their team for distribution.
- Photos with the Finalist and Champion banners at Spindler Park will be set up near the North and South (HQ) Shelter Houses (see field map) so we can spread out any team groups that want a picture.
Event Dates: November 07 - November 08, 2020
Club Ohio is pleased to invite your team to apply to The Fall Classic. The Fall Classic attracts teams competing at multiple levels from Ohio and surrounding states. The event typically uses fields that are located in the Dublin/Hilliard and Gahanna/Columbus areas. Host sites for 2020 are the Soccer Fields at Easton, Kilbourne Run Sports Park, and Spindler Park. Each team accepted will be scheduled to play a minimum of three (3) games and each game will be staffed by qualified USSF licensed officials.
There will be a full refund for any COVID-related event cancelation. A refund is not guaranteed in the event of cancellations, postponements, or the shortening of any game(s) due to inclement weather. However, a partial refund/credit may be considered by the tournament committee on a case by case basis.
Our application and payment deadline is October 11, 2020. While we have extended our application deadline, our committee will begin accepting teams on a rolling basis beginning September 22, 2020. We recommend teams apply as soon as possible since many age groups and divisions fill up quickly. All applications received up to this date will be considered for the tournament, but are not guaranteed acceptance. Late applications will be considered on a case by case basis.

In the event that the tournament is canceled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we will be offering full refunds of the registration fee that you had paid if you had registered and completed payment at the time of cancellation.

Helpful Application Hints
Teams from elite local clubs with no information given on the application will never be placed in the lowest flight unless your resume confirms otherwise !!!
- If you are planning to bring two teams, please make sure you fill in the name of your team. Otherwise, two team names may not show complete and cause confusion. Club Ohio Green 1 and Club Ohio Green 2. If the numbers were cut off, only Ohio Green would show you the team names apart. Therefore, they could abbreviate by calling the team, Club Ohio G1, and Club Ohio G2.
- Please include all team resume information to your best ability. A look at the competition you've played and the tournament levels participated in are critical in helping us analyze your team for correct placement.
- If you have a coach coaching more than one team, we will send out a coaching conflict form to fill out after the deadline - We'll do our best to help avoid scheduling conflicts. This works best for coaches with two teams. For coaches with three teams, it will be more challenging and we suggest you provide a backup coach. If a coach has more than three teams, we will not be able to help them avoid scheduling conflicts.
