South Burlington announces first Market Street street-soccer tournament
South Burlington has announced its first-ever Market Street Street Soccer Tournament, a city-center competition organized in partnership with the Vermont Air National Guard.
The city published the announcement July 6, 2026. It identifies the event as a street-soccer tournament and places it at Market Street in South Burlington City Center, using an inflatable street-soccer arena.
Small-sided format and roster limit
The announced format is three players against three players, plus a goalkeeper for each side. That makes the competition a small-sided event rather than a traditional full-sided soccer match.
Teams may carry up to six players on their rosters. The city’s announcement establishes both the on-field format and the roster cap, but does not name any participating teams.
The Vermont Air National Guard is the city’s partner for the tournament. The available city materials do not identify a league, division, age group or other eligibility classification for entrants.
Market Street as a city-center venue
The tournament is a new public recreation and sports-programming initiative for South Burlington. Its announced setup uses an inflatable arena at Market Street, bringing a soccer competition into the city-center setting.
In a separate July 6 Recreation and Parks archive item, the city described Market Street as Vermont’s newest soccer pitch. The materials provided do not establish that the pitch is permanent; the tournament announcement specifically describes an inflatable street-soccer arena.
The announcement marks the first time the city has identified a Market Street Street Soccer Tournament. It also pairs the city’s Recreation and Parks programming with the Vermont Air National Guard for the event.
Schedule and results remain unreported
The available announcement does not clearly state a competition date. It also does not provide a registration deadline, registration total, attendance figure or a list of teams expected to compete.
Because the city materials do not report completed matches, no scores, records, opponents, standings or tournament winner have been released in the approved source packet. The announcement should therefore be treated as notice of a planned competition, not as a record of a tournament already played.
Additional city information would be needed to establish when the competition will take place and to report any results after matches are held.
