Games start at 10 a.m. and run through 2 p.m.
Two teams from McCracken County will be playing. Two Marshall County teams that include the Team Kentucky players in the 2022 USA Games in June will also be competing. Other teams come from Bowling Green, Henderson County, Murray, Owensboro and Russellville.
This is the second of three regional tournaments that Special Olympics Kentucky will hold this season. The third tournament will be on Oct. 30 in Crestview Hills.
All teams are eligible to play in the State Flag Football Tournament, which will be on Nov. 12 at Tates Creek High School in Lexington.
