2 Stary Sącz host city Stary Sącz is a small town in the south of Poland. This one of the oldest Polish towns is located between two picturesque, mountain rivers: Dunajec and Poprad. Stary Sącz has its own remarkable spirit. It is full of historical and modern attractions. The medieval market square and The Poor Clares Monastery are monuments of Polish architecture. The town and its surroundings offer many attractions for active tourists. You can experience positive emotions on mild trails hiking and sightseeing bicycle routes. You can also take advantage of trails perfect for skiing or horseback riding. On the other hand in hot summer days you have opportunity to cool down at the Stawy - the open aqua park. At this watering place there is a safe zone prepared especially for children. For people who love relaxing in calm and harmony we recommend fishing. Our lakes are perfect for this type of rest. After days full of attractions it is worth going to local restaurants. Stary Sacz regional delicious dishes are pride of Polish cuisine. But the biggest advantage of the town is not its remarkable scenery and various sport activities, but the locals. They are friendly and outgoing people whose hospitality and cordiality creates unique, family atmosphere - perfect conditions for friendly youth competition.

History of our Tournament First edition of the Tournament took place in year 2011 as an initiative of several youth coaches, which appeared overly optimistic at the time.
