Lakers Fall Classic Tournament Update

This past weekend, the annual Lakers Fall Classic soccer tournament was cancelled due to extreme weather. Over the years, the event has experienced challenging conditions such as heavy rain, intense heat, extreme cold, and even snow. Unfortunately, Friday’s weather was unprecedented and caused the first cancellation of the entire tournament. The powerful rain and intermittent thunderstorms that began at 11:00 a.m. on Friday and continued (off and on) until 2:00 a.m. on Saturday morning made for unplayable conditions the rest of the weekend, particularly when combined with the low temperatures and continued precipitation throughout parts of Saturday and Sunday.
