Riverhounds Classic kicks off new youth season

In what has become an annual tradition, the 2025-26 competitive year for Riverhounds Development Academy teams kicked off last weekend with the fifth playing of the Riverhounds Classic from Aug. 29-31 at AHN Montour, Highmark Stadium and venues around the region.

A grand total of 98 teams participated hailing from Maryland, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, in addition to in-state teams and the RDA’s own sides. Champions were crowned in both boys and girls divisions across age groups from U9 to U14/15. (See below for a list of winners and photo gallery.)

Making the event a success once again started with Pittsburgh Sports & Exhibition Authority, who 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 and Mammotion — for their contributions toward making last weekend’s tournament another excellent event.

Lastly, another heartfelt thanks goes out from the tournament organizers to all the coaches, volunteers, facilities staff and others who made hosting the three-day event possible.
