Start the weekend off with a Picnic in the Stadium followed by the Olympic Style Opening Ceremonies, Parade of Teams, Soccer Olympics and the Dick Giebner Highlight Games. These unique events are the heart of the Fort Lowell Shootout for over 30 years. The soccer festival environment of the opening ceremonies and soccer Olympics is something your players will remember for a lifetime.
