ABOUT PIGSKIN TOURNAMENT
Thank you for your interest in our Annual Pigskin Tournament, to be held during the American Thanksgiving Week 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. If your team, coaches and parents are looking for the PREMIER tournament in Las Vegas, this is it!. The benefits of our tournaments are clear. We recognize several young athletes depend on sports as a social development, athletic release and leadership training tool. We want to help our youth athletes remove the masks and be seen in their comfort zone, ON THE FIELD!!! All games will be played on new fields in a central location with TURF FIELDS!
Gary Reese Freedom Park is the host site this year. (Fields subject to change if sold out)
At our 2003 tournament, we had the exciting opportunity to meet John Elway, who’s team, The Arapahoe Eagles, participated (and were division champions) in our tournament. There are several tournaments held during the Thanksgiving Weekend throughout the country, and John Elway chose the Pigskin Tournament to bring his team to. Why? Simply stated, our tournament features a “tail gate party” like atmosphere, fair and competitive rules, unquestioned integrity and the lowest participation costs of any tournament held in Las Vegas. Coaches, players and parents who have attended other tournaments and have now found the Pigskin Tournament have resoundingly been pleased with the experience.
