Challenge Tournaments are managed by a company called Florida Challenge Sports Events, Inc., more commonly known as "Challenge Sports". Challenge Sports runs 3v3 soccer tournaments and full-sided soccer tournaments. Challenge Sports has helped non-profit organizations raise money, since the first Greater Melbourne Holiday Challenge in 1988! Challenge Sports also offers "tournament consulting" help
to soccer clubs. Since the first Greater Melbourne Holiday Challenge in 1988, more than a million people (from far away as Moscow Russia, Brazil, Venezuela and China) have participated in Challenge Tournaments! In October of 1996, the Brevard Fall Challenge was introduced over the Columbus Day weekend. In 1998 the Spring Challenge was introduced on the first weekend of May. Later Challenge Sports added the Melbourne Beaches Girls Labor Day Challenge and the Boys Labor Day Challenge in September. Challenge Sports has held other Club fundraising full-sided Challenges such as the Treasure Coast United Challenge, the Central Florida United Challenge, the Lakeland Spring Challenge, and many more. Now there is a 3v3 Challenge TOUR, where teams qualify for the Challenge 3v3 National Championships held each summer at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World® Resort, Florida.! Challenge Sports is active in community and charitable activities. Challenge Sports has gathered soccer equipment for the children in Bosnia, provided soccer balls to local needy children, sent soccer balls and shirts to the children of Chernobyl in the Ukraine, to Honduras, Guatemala, China and other places in need, including places in the USA! Challenge Sports has participated in the Sports For Life Program, promoting a tobacco-free healthy lifestyle for young athletes. Challenge Sports also shipped boxes of soccer shirts and equipment to soccer clubs that were devastated by the 2005 Hurricane Katrina. Challenge Sports awards Challenge Tournaments College Scholarships each year to High School Seniors!
