Tournament of Champions

Vista Verde doesn’t have team sports in school but we do have the Tournament of Champions! It is a beautiful display of community partners coming together to help build team spirit and support the Irvine Public Schools Foundation including sports organizations SoCal Elite, Liverpool FC IA SoCal, ML Flag, and, at our school, the Vista Verde Foundation (provides shirts) and the Vista Verde PTA (provides snack).

The OC Youth Sports • Tournament of Champions is a school-based series of tournaments that raises funds to support the Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF) and Tustin Public Schools Foundation (TPSF). Sports include soccer, flag football, basketball and volleyball. Over the course of the year, schools are awarded points based on their performance in each tournament. At the end of the year the school with the most points will be presented with the Champions Cup to display at their school. For more information on each of the sports, to register for team tryouts, or to submit interest to be a coach, please visit the links below. If you have specific questions about coaching, please contact Bryan Fournier at bfournier@silverpointadvisors.com. To learn more about IPSF, please visit https://ipsf.net/.
