There will be two other cities participating in this year’s soccer festival.
Toronto and Chicago youth teams will be joining teams from the DC metro
area. Basketball games will be going on simultaneously right next to the
soccer field.
EAAA also has prepared running events for those who may be interested. All
Runners are advised to convene at the EAAA desk in the same location
starting 10:00 AM on Saturday August 8th, 2009. There will also be a Golf
tournament-taking place at Langston Hughes on 2600 Benning Rd. NE,
Washington D.C for more information contact Gherei Asgedom 703-945-0294.
The DC Convention Center is also a block away from the ECCC and so ECCC
serves as the central location for information. It is easier to pay and park
at a pay parking lot instead of getting tickets in D.C especially near the
ECCC. There are a couple of parking lots a block away.
Have a safe and happy Festival weekend. Please come out and support the
sports activities.
