As the 2025-26 competitive year for the Riverhounds Development Academy comes toward its end, the annual RDA Spring Invitational Tournament presented by SportsPITTSBURGH was held May 8-10 at AHN Montour Sports Complex, F.N.B. Stadium and venues around the region.
A total of 109 teams participated, hailing from New York, Ohio and West Virginia, in addition to in-state teams and the RDA’s own sides. Champions were crowned in boys and girls divisions across age groups from U9 to U19. (See below for a list of winners and photo gallery.)
Presenting sponsor SportsPITTSBURGH made the event a success, in addition to the Pittsburgh Sports & Exhibition Authority, which continues to support all three annual events in the Riverhounds Tournament Series. Organizers also wish to thank the Tournament Series’ sponsors — Coen Markets, King Orthodontics, Las Palmas Pittsburgh, Mosquito Joe, Crumbl and Pella Windows & Doors — for their contributions to making last weekend’s tournament another excellent event.
Lastly, the tournament organizers extend heartfelt thanks to all coaches, volunteers, facilities staff and others who helped make hosting the three-day event possible.
