Chair of the NIRSA championship Series Soccer Work Team and Assistant Director of Competitive Sports at the University of Alabama, Laura Thomas says, “Regional NIRSA Soccer tournaments are the only opportunity, for many, to compete at a collegiate-level tournament in the sport of soccer. I’m proud to say we are supporting the vision of The Series by providing a premiere opportunity such as these across the United States. Our Regional Coordinators work hard each year to keep us pushing the needle forward.”
