The Brandon Bean Invitational is held every year to honor a former player who passed away in 1992 after an on-field collision at a soccer scrimmage. In addition, the tournament also honors former girl's player Laura Kea who died in an auto accident on her way to a soccer tournament.

The tournament runs from Monday, Nov. 30 to Saturday, Dec. 5 at various high schools in the Tucson area. The quarterfinals, semifinals and championships will all be held at Salpointe.
