This June 3-4, Buckroe Beach will welcome the Virginia Sand Soccer Championships! The event is open to the public and expected to draw over 800 athletes and thousands of spectators from across the region.
“We are extremely excited to return to Buckroe Beach for a weekend of sun, sand and soccer,” said Virginia Sand Soccer Championships Tournament Director Stephen Price.
During the weekend, games will take place in the sand on the north side of Buckroe Beach Park (fields start near the playground and are stacked end to end down to the park ranger station). Each team registered for the Virginia Sand Soccer Championships will play a minimum of three (3) matches, with the top two (2) teams from each division (12-15 divisions total) advancing to a final. Each division will play a final match on Sunday, June 4, with first (1st) and second (2nd) place teams receiving awards.
The Virginia Sand Soccer Championships is a sand soccer tournament located in the heart of Coastal Virginia, on the Chesapeake Bay, at Hampton’s Buckroe Beach. Our goal is to provide our local clubs with an exceptionally fun tune up tournament for the North American Sand Soccer Championships. Sand soccer paired with great live music and summer beach vibes is what makes this tournament crazy fun!
Other activities taking place during the Virginia Sand Soccer Championships include a Boardwalk Arts & Crafts show, gourmet food truck/trailer area, and SUP (stand up paddle board), kayak, and jet ski rentals. In addition, Tribal Yoga of Hampton will be offering a free introductory Yoga Stretch on Saturday morning. To top it off, enjoy two full days of live music in the sand!
