Highlights
Things To Do Around Norco
Horse trails, hot springs and wine country — all inside an hour of the fields.

Horsetown USA
Norco is built around horses — over 100 miles of bridle trails, hitching posts outside the shops and a rodeo arena in the middle of town.

Glen Ivy Hot Springs
Fifteen minutes south in Corona. Mineral pools, mud baths and shade — the correct move after a Saturday in July heat.

Temecula Valley
About an hour down the I-15. Wine country, hot-air balloons and Old Town for a proper team dinner.

Anaheim & The Coast
Forty-five minutes west puts you at Disneyland; keep going and you hit Huntington and Newport beaches.
Additional Event Info
Age Guidelines
High school eligibility is based on current grad year. Youth eligibility is based on both grad year and birth date — players must meet both to be eligible. Players may play up, but never down, and may not play for two teams. [Add the 2027 player eligibility graphics here.]
Heat, Weather & Lightning
July in the Inland Empire is hot — plan shade, electrolytes and far more water than you expect to need. Play is suspended immediately when lightning is detected and resumes 30 minutes after the last strike. Legends may shorten, convert or reschedule games for weather or field conditions; no refunds are issued in those cases.
Hotels
Legends has partnered with Athletes Hospitality as the lodging provider for this event. Preferred hotels can be booked through their Legends page. For help with the discounted room block, call 914-402-8070 or email Team@AthletesHospitality.com.
