Our annual Blast Middle School tournament marks the conclusion of our spring Soccer For Success season and the year-long One Hen social entrepreneurship curriculum for Scores’ 6th to 8th grade students.

360 students from 12 Boston public schools come together for a competitive soccer tournament and to reveal the outcome of their One Hen projects, including the philanthropic re-investment of their profits.

The Scores staff awards several Middle School superlatives at Blast, including six-year medals for all students who completed the entire Elementary and Middle School program from 3rd through 8th grade.

Other superlatives include:

Fair Play Award

Presented to the program that accumulates the most Fair Play points during the spring Middle School season, as determined by referees and game officials.

• 2019 Fair Play Award: King K-8 School

The Strong Cup

Presented to the Blast soccer tournament champions for boys & girls, named in honor of the late Anne Strong, founder of the CityKicks urban girls soccer program that later merged with Scores to form the foundation of our Middle School program.
