The Kohl's US Youth Soccer American Cup provides recreational youth soccer players an opportunity
to experience a consistent and high quality statewide tournament in a
fun, family-like atmosphere. It fosters stimulation and excitement about
soccer in an effort to increase the recreational player’s interest in
and love for the game. Nationwide, more than 60 Kohl's American Cup
events are scheduled, and one thing each of them have in common is the
goal of providing all participants with the opportunity to experience a
consistent and high-quality tournament in a fun, festival-like
atmosphere.
