Academy Spring Classics

presented by UofL Health

Kick off your spring season at one of the Midwest’s premier early-season showdowns!
 

The LouCity / Racing Spring Classic isn’t just another tournament—it’s a spring soccer experience like no other. Set at a top-tier facility, this standout event is the perfect pre-season tune-up for players and coaches of all levels. With elite competition, electric energy, and teams traveling from across the region and beyond, it's where champions sharpen their edge and new rivalries are born.

We are now accepting team applications for our upcoming Spring Classics on a rolling basis. Teams are encouraged to apply early, as acceptance will be granted as applications are received until all spots are filled. Our events sold out last year, so don’t wait to secure your team’s spot!

Tournament Insurance Details:

Teams have the option to purchase Event Cancellation Team Coverage by VI Coverage, powered by Vertical Insure, when registering for any LouCity/Racing Event in GotSport. This optional coverage adds a layer of protection for your non-refundable registration fee.

For teams that purchase Event Cancellation Insurance, here is how it works:

Full Refund for Pre-Tournament Cancellations: If the event is canceled before the tournament starts due to weather conditions, your insured team will receive 100% of the non-refundable registration fee back. No questions asked.

Pro-Rated Refund for Mid-Tournament Cancellations: In the event that the tournament is forced to cancel after it has started due to weather conditions, the insured team will receive a refund based on the number of games guaranteed versus the number of games played. This ensures you only pay for the games you’ve played and not a penny more.

Affordable Protection at Just 10% of the Entry Fee. Adding Event Cancellation Team Coverage to your registration is a smart choice for safeguarding against the unexpected. Don’t let the possibility of weather-related cancellations disrupt your team’s plans or financial commitments.

Event Cancellation Insurance can be purchased up to 15 days prior to the start of the event.

Entry Fee Example:

• Team Registration fee is $900
• Insurance will cost $90 (10%)
• Event Fully Canceled due to weather: Your team receives a $900 refund from VI Coverage, powered by Vertical Insure.
• Event Canceled due to weather, and you only received 2 games: Your team receives a $300 refund from VI Coverage, powered by Vertical Insure.
