Upcoming Tournaments

At WHSC we love to travel and compete alongside our LGBTQ+ soccer community in the US and around the world. Below please find the list of tournaments we are considering sending teams to this year. If you are interested in attending any of the following tournaments, please fill out the interest form at the bottom of this page.

These forms will be used to help determine how many teams we send, at which levels, and to help build rosters. We will circle back to all players who expressed interest once planning commences (2-3 months prior for domestic tournaments, 4-6 months prior for international tournaments) and will work with captains to communicate tournament info and plan travel.

A note on commitment deposits: For certain tournaments, a non-refundable commitment deposit will be required once you are confirmed on a roster. If this applies to your tournament, you will receive a payment link when you are being rostered on a team. You will have 48 hours from the time that link is received to submit your deposit. Failure to pay within that window will result in your spot being forfeited and given to the next interested player. This policy exists to protect the club's investment in registration costs and ensure we are only building rosters with fully committed players.

Deposit requirements and amounts will always be clearly communicated per tournament and will never come as a surprise.
