Hershey Cup

The Hershey Soccer Club is a non-profit community based club that strives to provide quality recreational and travel soccer opportunities for children of all skill levels and ages.

The Hershey Cup was created as a pre-season tune-up tournament for Premier and Travel teams. With a three game guarantee and Hershey attractions nearby, the Hershey Cup provides teams with a preseason opportunity to bond on and off the field.

The goal of the Hershey Tournament Series is to offer quality competition on high quality fields in Hershey while encouraging sportsmanship and fostering a love of the game. We hope your team accepts our invitation to compete in the Hershey Cup and learns firsthand why Hershey is the Sweetest Place on Earth!
