Battle of the ‘hoods
WORLD CUP
FAMILY FIELD DAY
Our community event celebrates Del Valle & Southeast Austin families through friendly competition. Battle of the Hoods is a key part of raising funds to support EPSA scholarships to ensure no child is turned away from programming. This is a time to build community pride and make connections with our families and students! The World Cup theme will enable us to celebrate the game, learn skills, and dive into the culture.
Get your game faces on and your spirit sticks ready—we’ll see you on the pitch!
