2nd Annual ESDAA Soccer Tournament @ WPSD – Final Results and Awards.

The Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf is proud to host the 2nd annual Eastern Schools for the Deaf Athletic Association (ESDAA) Soccer Tournament.  The teams that will be participating will include – American School for the Deaf, Fanwood (NY), Ohio School for the Deaf, Lexington, Marie Philips, and the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf.

The mission of the ESDAA is to provide all member schools and respective athletes with challenging tournament and championship meet-competition. These competitions will center on good sportsmanship, ethical behavior, and integrity as advocated by the National Federation of State High Schools Athletics Association.

Parking.  WPSD will be enforcing a temporary parking restriction on our campus until 1:30 pm on Friday October 21st.  Competing schools (teams only) will have access to reserved places prior to the start of the tournament.  All other parents, friends, and guests are asked to park off campus. Guests will be able to walk onto campus at the gates located on East Swissvale Avenue and School Street to access the soccer field. Once school has dismissed for the weekend and all of the buses have cleared, we will lift the parking ban on campus.  This will happen around 1:30 pm Friday.  Please note until the ban is lifted, there will be additional parking available adjacent to WPSD at the Deaf Lutheran Church, at the corner of Swissvale and Walnut street.  Once the WPSD staff depart for the weekend around 2pm, more parking will also be available in the campus lots. Thank you for your cooperation, and your support of our schools. We look forward to a wonderful event!

WPSD will attempt to offer coverage of each game online through the School’s LIVESTEAM CHANNEL.  We have been experiencing technical difficulties with the LiveStream service today (Friday) but will attempt to offer the service on Saturday.  Thank you for your patience.  The entire tournament schedule is as follows…..
