Sac Republic Youth Day

All registered Grassroots players receive one FREE ticket to the Sunday, September 29, 2024 Sac Republic Youth Day match vs. New Mexico United. The match kick-off time is 4pm. The first 150 players to claim their FREE tickets during Grassroots registration get the opportunity to participate as Flag Bearers or in Post Match Pk’s on the field! All players will be able to participate in the on field parade, post game pictures on the field and receive a SRFC gift. 

Families have the option of purchasing discounted group tickets for the youth day match during registration as this will be a sell out event. (You don’t want your kiddo going alone! 😬) We will do our best to group your teams together as best as we can so you are sitting as close as possible!
