8th “Sokolik” International Football
Tournament U10
June 9th-10th 2018
Stary Sącz – host city
Stary Sącz is a small town in the south of Poland. This one of the oldest Polish towns is located between two picturesque, mountain rivers: Dunajec and Poprad. Stary Sącz has its own remarkable spirit. It is full of historical and modern attrac-tions. The medieval market square and The Poor Clares Monastery are monuments of Polish architecture. The town and its surroundings offer many attractions for active tourists. You can experience positive emotions on mild trails hiking and sightseeing bicycle routes. You can also take advantage of trails perfect for skiing or horseback riding. On the other hand in hot summer days you have opportunity to cool down at the “Stawy”- the open aqua park. At this watering place there is a safe zone prepared especially for children.For people who love relaxing in calm and harmony we recommend fishing. Our lakes are perfect for this type of rest. After days full of attractions it is worth going to local restaurants. Stary Sacz’ regional delicious dishes are pride of Polish cui-sine. But the biggest advantage of the town is not its remarkable scenery and var-ious sport activities, but the locals. They are friendly and outgoing people whose hospitality and cordiality creates unique, family atmosphere - perfect conditions for friendly youth competition.
First edition of the Tournament took place in year 2011 as an initiative of several youth coaches, which appeared over-ly optimistic at the time. Initially a local cup, played between regional teams and having hospitality as its only major ad-vantage, gradually gained quality and recognition and become international competition, with multiple participants from all across Europe. In five editions to date, the Tournament host-ed 78 teams from England, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, USA, Hungary, Italy, Latvia and Slovakia, providing ad-venture and being a learning experience for over 1350 kids from different countries and cultures.

When we play?
We believe youth tournaments are not only about winning, they are also about learning how to live with a collective spirit and fueling every kid’s dream of becoming a professional foot-baller one day. Hopefully we can provide that lesson and that fuel. We want Sokolik Tour-nament to last long in memories of our participants and how to better fall in kid’s memory than by a little prize-giving ceremony?
That’s why:
• winning team and its coach (he might still be a dreamer if he’s in this job, from our own experience he’s certainly not about money) will receive commemorative cup, certificates, medals and a weekend stay in ‘Perła Południa’ Hotel in Rytro, at the time of their choosing, which is funded by ‘Perła Południa’ Hotel in Rytro.• all teams will receive commemorative cup, medals and certificates.• seven best teams of the Tournament will be given prizes.• best player of the Tournament will receive statuette and certificate of his accomplishment.• each coach (remember that he’s probably a dreamer) will receive souvenirs which include local cuisine specialties, but we cannot be more specific about its nature in a youth tournament brochure.
