The Columbus Soccer Club invites all teams to participate in the Columbus Invite Soccer Tournament being held Memorial Weekend 2008. The 2007 Tournament was highly successful with 59 teams participating and with excellent weather and field conditions.

Games will be held at the Wilderness Park Soccer Complex which is quickly gaining its reputation for one of the best-maintained soccer complexes in the state. During the tournament Wilderness Park will provide 10 to 14 fields of play ranging from U8 to U19 for boys and girls.

When not playing a soccer match, stop by and have a steak sandwich, hamburger or hot-dog at our open barbecue, visit our mall on East Hwy 30, or enjoy the "PAWNEE PLUNGE" water park located on south Highway 81 in Columbus.

We hope you enjoy your visit!!!
