Harvest Cup
Welcome to the online headquarters for our 2026 Harvest Cup soccer tournament. We're excited to host you in Columbus!
Thank you for choosing to attend our tournament. The Harvest Cup will host boys and girls teams ages U7 through U19 with games being played on some of the best natural grass soccer fields in all of Nebraska at Wilderness Park. We will also host some 11v11 games on artificial turf at Columbus High School and Pawnee Park's Memorial Stadium.
Our club strives to provide the best soccer tournament experience we can for our guests. Every consideration was made with our schedule to avoid long delays between games or early start times for those traveling from more than an hour from Columbus. While not always perfect due to field and referee availability, rest assured we look at every team's schedule for the weekend to avoid coach conflicts and meet special requests.
Below are some important links and information for you to share with your parents and players:

ROSTERS & CHECK-IN
Teams have until 11:59pm on Wednesday, October 7th, to make changes to their rosters. PlayMetrics will automatically lock the rosters at midnight, so please make sure you have completed this task before the deadline. Coaches should list their team roster in PlayMetrics and uploaded a copy of your official state-approved roster and player passes when submitting your roster.
Need help? Here's how to Build and submit your team roster
On October 8th, all rosters will be considered final, and only those players listed on your roster are eligible to participate in our tournament. Any team found using an ineligible player shall be subject to our tournament rules for such circumstances.
Teams are allowed to club pass players within their own organizations. Guest players are also allowed. If borrowing any player from another club or organization, coaches must submit a completed Guest Player request to the Tournament Director at tournaments@columbussoccerclub.com Any required out of state travel paperwork must also be emailed to the Tournament Director, or can be presented at tournament headquarters prior to your first game.
Guest player requests are now handled directly in PlayMetrics! Please do not submit any requests through HTG Sports as these will not be accepted. Email the Tournament Director for assistance, or check back for updates.
Because we will already have your state approved rosters on file, there will be no need for arriving early for check-in. Tournament headquarters will be located on the north end of the concession building at the center of the complex.
In the event of injury, please visit Tournament headquarters. Our medical trainer will be on site throughout the tournament and is located in the northeast corner of Field 6 next to headquarters. At the Stadium or High School venues, the trainer will be near the field.
TOURNAMENT RULES
The rules for our tournament are available at this link
BENCHES PROVIDED
Columbus Soccer Club will be providing team benches at each field. Coaches and players will occupy the side of the field with the benches, and parents and spectators will occupy the opposite side of the field. See our field map for additional details.
REMINDERS
Please do not warm up inside the goal areas. This part of the field sees a lot of wear and tear, and we prefer to keep our soccer complex in good shape.
Dogs are not allowed at our soccer complex (service dogs exempt). Please share this with your parents and anyone else who might be attending.
Our soccer complex has just one entrance and exit on the southeast corner of our complex. These are marked with signage, so please use the correct lane when arriving or leaving our complex to avoid causing traffic issues. Traffic is one-way around the perimeter of the complex. Please do not drive against traffic or attempt to hop the line as this only leads to traffic jams and delays.
Parking is available on the entire east side of the complex. There is also a parking lot on the north side of the complex. Access to the north lot does cross over a bike path, so please watch for pedestrians before crossing through the north gate.
ROAD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Bridge replacement work on Highway 30/81 into Columbus from the south continues. This should not result in any major delays, but will reduce traffic to just one lane each direction at the bridge.
If you are heading to Columbus on Highway 30 from the east toward Wilderness Park, you will want to turn north at East 6th Avenue (on the west side of Wal-Mart) to get to our soccer complex. This road becomes Lost Creek Parkway and will take you to our soccer complex. Just turn south at the light when you reach 18th Avenue/Wilderness Road.
If you are heading to Pawnee Park Memorial Stadium from the east, you'll want to turn south at 33rd Avenue and 23rd Street (Highway 30). Take 33rd Avenue south to 8th Street to reach Pawnee Park.
If you are coming into Columbus from the south, there is leave a few minutes early due to the bridge construction. Take 33rd Avenue north to 38th Street. Head east on 38th Street until you reach 18th Avenue, and turn left (north). Our complex will be on your left. Pawnee Park Memorial Stadium is located on the south side of town and will be on your left as you enter Columbus from the south. Columbus High School will be located on the corner of 33rd Avenue and Lost Creek Parkway.
If you are coming into Columbus from the west on Highway 81, you'll want to take Lost Creek Parkway to 18th Avenue/Wilderness Road, and turn right (south). Columbus High School will be located at the corner of Lost Creek Parkway and 33rd Avenue, and Pawnee Park Stadium is located south on 33rd Avenue and 8th Street.
