TEAMS & DIVISIONS

AFDC is proud to announce the following teams participating in Club Terminus this year.

 

Full schedule and standings can be found HERE.


LOCATION & FIELD MAP

This year, Terminus will be at Peachtree City Athletic Complex – 30 minutes from the Altanta Airport and 45 minutes South from the city of Atlanta.

A few fun facts about the area:

PTC is a golf cart city. There are 100+ miles of multi-use golf cart paths that connect you to shopping, dining, event venues, and other recreation. You can even get to the tournament location via golf cart. A local favorite is golf carting to Lake Peachtree to watch the sunset.

If you are a Walking Dead fan, 10 minutes from the fields is downtown Senoia. Senoia is where a big portion of the Walking Dead was filmed, so there is The Walking Dead museum with a tour and a restaurant owned by Norman Reedus (Daryl).

There are a lot of green spaces and nature trails, a new disc golf course, breweries, and a variety of restaurants – so many things to do when not on the field! And if you like visiting the themed Chic-fil-As, 17 minutes Northeast of PTC is the Luau location.

Tournament Field Map:

Please CARPOOL when going to the tournament location.

Check out the food trucks on Saturday!
