Grand Park welcomed the United States Power Soccer Association Friday with the opening of the MK Battery Conference Cup Series, which is taking place this weekend at the Grand Park Fieldhouse.
Thirty teams are participating, including players on the USPSA’s National Team. In addition, some Hamilton County officials joined in the game Friday afternoon.
Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear, Westfield Mayor Andy Cook, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness and Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt played alongside some of the National Team members in the USPSA Mayor’s Cup, which serves as a fundraiser for the organization. The money goes back to the USPSA to help further the sport.
The players on the National Team are getting ready for the third FIPFA World Cup, which takes place July 3-10 in Kissimmee, Florida. The United States won the World Cups in 2007 and 2011, and opens defense of their title on July 5 when it takes on Denmark. That game and all others can be streamed live at http://fipfa.org/
Meanwhile, games continue at the Grand Park Fieldhouse today and tomorrow. Admission is free.
