Event Description
The 23rd Annual NIKE Palmetto Cup, hosted by Brookland-Cayce High School, will be held April 8-11, 2015 in Cayce, South Carolina. This year will mark the debut of the new 5,000 seat state of the art stadium, complete with field turf (120x64) as well as the historic home of the Bearcats, the natural grass field at The Cage (115x56) on the campus of BCHS.
 
We would like to return the tourney to a 16-team field, pending teams are available to play during Spring Break or via a pre-arranged modified schedule. The NIKE Palmetto Cup has long been regarded as one of the nation's premier prep boys soccer tournaments and has been a fixture for NSCAA.com and TopDrawerSoccer.com Rankings Committees and voting representatives for more than a decade. In addition, the event is attended annually by a number of collegiate coaches and professional scouts.
 
All teams are guaranteed three games - this may be adjusted due to the number of participating teams - as the tourney has featured four games per team in recent years.
 
What: 23rd Annual NIKE Palmetto Cup boys high school soccer tournament in Cayce, S.C. The tournament will be hosted at Brookland-Cayce HS at our brand new state-of-the-art 5,000 seat synthetic field stadium. Fans, players, parents, and soccer supporters will love attending a soccer tournament in "Famously Hot" Columbia, SC.
 
Why Us:
FACILITIES: Two stadium fields. Brookland-Cayce Bearcat Stadium (120x64) synthetic turf; and The Cage (115x56) natural grass. Granby Education Center (110x60), lighted practice ground for BCHS) will be used in the need for a third-field.
