Spend your 2013 Thanksgiving holiday amid the splendor of the Great Smoky Mountains, while participating in our 41st Annual Thanksgiving Football Tournament. We have Age Division Brackets to accommodate 6-14 years of age and allow players to compete in a competitive atmosphere. This past year we had 72 teams from ten states competing in our three-day tournament. Due to the increased attendance we have decreased our registration fee from $500 to $350. Also, we are no longer able to give complementary t-shirts to each team. Each team that participates must make lodging reservations through T3 sports (information should be posted soon). Teams will still have a two game minimum, we will try our best to get everyone at least three games over the weekend (the number of games will be based on the number of teams signed up in each division). Our facility is located 5 miles outside of downtown Gatlinburg . We are currently going through the first phase construction of our new athletics complex and we should have two compleated field turf fields as well as two grass fields. This is a great opportunity to get your team together one last time to celebrate a great season. We offer a small town experience with plenty of extras. Register for our tournament and be part of another spectacular year, as always there is no gate fee or parking fee for spectators.
