The Water Cooler Classic is designed to bring together New York City’s corporate community for a unique on-pitch competition.
This co-ed event will test the skills, teamwork, and spirit of NYC businesses as they compete for the first ever Water Cooler Classic title.
A percentage of proceeds from team registrations will benefit NYC Footy’s official charity partner, South Bronx United, which transforms the game into a pathway for social change, achieving a 100% high school graduation rate and a 94% college matriculation rate for nearly 2,000 immigrant and at-risk youth annually.
Here’s the deal:
20 teams in a 5v5 format (2 female minimum) with 8-10 player rosters, divided into Competitive and Casual divisions.
$1,000 registration fee per team, every entry directly supports SBU’s mission of using football to uplift communities in the South Bronx.
