Can my team use buses and RVs for the event?

Buses are able to drop players using the Bus Dropoff Area located at P5, but they will not be able to remain on site during the day. Ample parking is available at Triangle Town Center a few minutes away. RVs are not permitted to be stationed on-site.

Can I bring my pets to the fields?

No pets (e.g., dogs, cats, or other leashed animal) are allowed at any NCFC Youth owned or operated facility used for practices, games, and/or tournaments (except for a documented service animal). This includes parking lots, sidelines, walking paths, shelters/pavilions, or anywhere else on premises.

This policy is in place to ensure the safety of our players, families, and visitors. Animal control experts agree that even the most well-mannered and “family friendly” pets struggle in this unfamiliar setting to manage their instinctual behaviors.

Referees will help enforce this policy on game days by delaying games until animals are removed from fields, even if this involves asking an individual to leave a facility. We ask that all of you take ownership of this policy to help us protect your children and families.
