This tournament was the brainchild of Nicole Martell, Youth Director for Maple Family Centers.

“Nicole developed this tournament from nothing, and it has grown nicely over the years,” said Joe LaSpina, Vice President of Maple Family Centers. “We are expecting more than 130 kids to participate this year. This is the only time some of these kids will get to meet or compete against each other, since they live in different counties, and some go to public or Catholic schools."
