Harvest Cup

Welcome to the online headquarters for our 2025 Harvest Cup soccer tournament. We're excited to host you in Columbus!

Thank you for choosing to attend our tournament. The Harvest Cup will host boys and girls teams ages U7 through U19 with games being played on some of the best natural grass soccer fields in all of Nebraska at Wilderness Park. We will also host some 11v11 games on artificial turf at Pawnee Park's Memorial Stadium.

 

Our club strives to provide the best soccer tournament experience we can for our guests. Every consideration was made with our schedule to avoid long delays between games or early start times for those traveling from more than an hour from Columbus. While not always perfect due to field and referee availability, rest assured we look at every team's schedule for the weekend to avoid coach conflicts and meet special requests. Because frost has caused delays during prior Harvest Cup tournaments, we have opted to start games a little later to avoid early morning frost delays.

Below are some important links and information for you to share with your parents and players:

ROSTERS & CHECK-IN

Teams have until 11:59pm on Wednesday, October 8th, to make changes to their rosters. On October 9th, we will consider all rosters to be final. We will print copies of the rosters as they are at that time, and only players listed on the official printed copy will be allowed to participate. Any player(s) added to a roster after the deadline are ineligible to participate in our tournament. Any team found using an ineligible player shall be subject to our tournament rules for such circumstances.

Teams are allowed to club pass players within their own organizations. Guest players are also allowed. If borrowing any player from another club or organization, coaches must submit a completed Guest Player form to the Tournament Director at csctourney@gmail.com prior to the roster deadline. Any required out of state travel paperwork must also be emailed to the Tournament Director, or can be presented at tournament headquarters prior to your first game.

Because we will already have your state approved rosters on file, there will be no need for arriving early for check-in. Tournament headquarters will be located on the north end of the concession building at the center of the complex.

 

TOURNAMENT RULES

The rules for our tournament are available at this link

 

BENCHES PROVIDED

Columbus Soccer Club will be providing team benches at each field. Coaches and players will occupy the side of the field with the benches, and parents and spectators will occupy the opposite side of the field. See our field map for additional details.

 

REMINDERS

Please do not warm up inside the goal areas. This part of the field sees a lot of wear and tear, and we prefer to keep our soccer complex in good shape.

Dogs are not allowed at our soccer complex (service dogs exempt). Please share this with your parents and anyone else who might be attending.

Our soccer complex has just one entrance and exit on the southeast corner of our complex. These are marked with signage, so please use the correct lane when arriving or leaving our complex to avoid causing traffic issues. Traffic is one-way around the perimeter of the complex. Please do not drive against traffic as this leads to traffic jams and delays.

Parking is available on the entire east side of the complex. There is also a parking lot on the north side of the complex. Access to the north lot does cross over a bike path, so please watch for pedestrians before crossing through the north gate.

 

ROAD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Great news! As of October 3rd, the highway reconstruction project on 23rd Street through much of Columbus has been completed and all lanes are now open! Temporary traffic light removal and some shoulder/sidewalk-related items still need to be completed, so please proceed carefully across town and watch for limited lane closures as that work is wrapped up. Unfortunately, we also just began a new bridge replacement on the south side of town that will impact anyone coming to Columbus from the south. This should not result in any major delays, but will reduce traffic to just one lane each direction at the bridge.

If you are heading to Columbus on Highway 30 from the east toward Wilderness Park, you will want to turn north at East 6th Avenue (on the west side of Wal-Mart) to get to our soccer complex.  This road becomes Lost Creek Parkway and will take you to our soccer complex. Just turn south at the light when you reach 18th Avenue/Wilderness Road.

If you are heading to Pawnee Park Memorial Stadium from the east, you'll want to turn south at 3rd Avenue and 23rd Street (Highway 30). Take 3rd Avenue south to 8th Street, and turn right. Take 8th Street west across town to reach Pawnee Park.

If you are coming into Columbus from the south, there is now road construction for bridge replacement, so leave a few minutes early if taking this route as the highway is down to one lane each direction at the bridge. Take 33rd Avenue north to 38th Street. Head east on 38th Street until you reach 18th Avenue, and turn left (north). Our complex will be on your left. Pawnee Park Memorial Stadium is located on the south side of town and will be on your left as you enter Columbus from the south.

If you are coming into Columbus from the west on Highway 81, you'll want to take Lost Creek Parkway to 18th Avenue/Wilderness Road, and turn right (south). Do not take the highway across town as you could be delayed.

PAWNEE PARK MEMORIAL STADIUM

Located in Pawnee Park in south Columbus, Memorial Stadium was recently resurfaced with brand new artificial turf. At that time, lines were added to allow the facility to now host 11v11 soccer games.
