Each year teams come from all around the country to kick off their summer tournament season at the AFA Nationals in beautiful St. George, Utah. Whether it’s playing at first class facilities or taking in amazing views, both players and parents will agree that this is the most memorable event of the year. Competition is fierce on the field with teams playing 4 pool play games that lead into a double elimination tournament. When not on the field, you can catch team’s bonding through miniature golfing, water tubing, taking in an afternoon at the lake, hiking or going on an adventure to Zion National Park. There is never stay to play!
