Welcome to the Touchline Soccer Blog/Iceland, which will chronicle the Touchline U16 team's trip to Reykjavik, Iceland to participate in the Rey Cup international soccer tournament July 24-28. Seventeen players and three coaches will depart Logan Airport on July 21and arrive bright and early on the 22nd at the Keflavik Airport. After two days to adjust, train, and see the sights (including a full day bus tour), the Rey Cup opening ceremonies on the 24th will welcome teams from around the world, including several English Premiership youth teams, several from the US, and the top youth teams from the host country. After two days for group play and another for the playoffs, the champions will be crowned on the 28th, followed by closing ceremonies and a return home on the 29th.
In the days to come, we will provide extensive details about the trip and the tournament, which has its own web page (www.reycup.is) and Facebook page. We're still waiting for the schedule to be published. Once the trip is underway, you can expect daily updates and (hopefully) photographs. The team will begin focused training as a specific Touchline entity the week prior to departure, and continue to play regular Touchline games until then. Stay tuned as we prepare for an excellent adventure!
