A Tournament Worth Bringing Back
For three years, Brave SC—formerly The Villages SC—proudly hosted The Villages Cup (see pictures below), a 3-day tournament welcoming clubs from across Florida and neighboring states. After taking time to focus on growing and strengthening our club, we’re excited to bring it back.
Every match on one site. Three games guaranteed. Referee fees included. The way we would want for our teams.
“Of all the tournaments we have been to, whether as participants or visitors, this one has been the best organized.” — Ellie Hunt
“One of our favorite tournaments.” — Chad Doyle
“Great tournament. It’s definitely my favorite.” — Tracie Conti
Brave Cup: a new name, a new site, and the same commitment to delivering a great weekend of soccer. Join us!
LOcation
Downtown Middleton is minutes from the fields — 4 Rivers Smokehouse, Portillo's, Provisions Grocery, and a square designed to be walked rather than parked in. A beautiful place to take a team between games.
And two more town squares are a short drive away — Eastport and Sawgrass Grove — even more options for dinning and shopping as well as live music.
Getting here: I-75 from the north, Florida's Turnpike from the south.
Just over an hour from Orlando. About the same from Tampa.
Stay where you want
This is not a stay-to-play event.
Most tournaments in Florida now require you to book through their travel partner or lose your place. We are not doing that.
But if you want to stay close to the action, here are the hotels we recommend →
Green Grove Hotel - distance from fields 0.5 miles
Hotel Eastport - distance from fields 2.5 miles
