After a week of AFC Grassroots Football Day and National Prevention Week activities, the Play Smart, Live Strong Football Tournament wrapped up Friday, May 16, at the TSL Sports Complex.

Hundreds of players of all ages gathered in a mass of colorful uniforms with their special gift of soccer balls as it bounced along with their laughter and voices. The week focused on keeping the youth active and encouraging healthy choices through football.
