If that lineup at your favourite local fastfood restaurant seems a little longer than usual this weekend, you can probably thank the 26th edition of the Chilliwack Youth Soccer Tournament.

The independently organized, non-profit tournament will welcome more than 100 teams to town this weekend. Games will be played at nearly every local soccer field, although the brunt of activity will take place at Townsend and Exhibition fields.

Kids between the ages of 11 and 18 will take part on teams rated gold, silver and bronze. Some 20 Chilliwack squads will participate for free.

Organizer Roland Mickler said teams will be coming from the Yukon, Washington State and around British Columbia. He expects the tournament to attract between six and seven thousand people to the Chilliwack area.

"Everybody uses this weekend as a camping weekend," he said. "It has a huge impact on restaurants."
