Soccer in the Sand - 2011 Nationwide Beach Soccer Series!

Soccer in the Sand is very excited to announce our 2012 Nationwide Beach Soccer Series schedule! The new year looks to be even better then '11 as we have added a couple of very cool locations to our tour. We are also proud to kick off 2012 with two of the BIGGEST power houses in all of soccer as we have joined both the Nike and Eurosport families! Soccer in the Sand gear will now feature the Swoosh.

The closing to 2011 was very exciting as Soccer in the Sand along with MBS and USL featured the first ever Men’s and Women’s Beach Soccer National Championships that were held in Clearwater Florida. Along with being the Tournament Director, Soccer in the Sand founder, Chris Lemay also fielded a Women’s team that ended up as Finalists.

The championship game was exciting but unfortunately team SITS ended up losing 4-3 in overtime. On the Men’s side Soccer in the Sand qualified 4 teams that represented SITS in the National finals. All SITS qualifying teams did well and the Spartans from Michigan were men’s finalist. Along with the National Championships, FIFA conducted its first ever Beach Soccer course in the United States. SITS Director Chris Lemay earned his certificate and is now 1 of 24 people in the US that has been certified by the Federation International Football Association.
