Everyone loves an underdog story and finding that diamond in the rough… but the reality is that so many youth players are passed on by college coaches because they never get the chance to see them in action.
Here are some numbers:
👉 Over 2.5 million players in the US Youth Soccer system
👉 Over 1 Million Youth Players in Canada
👉 Less than 90,000 players play at the collegiate level in the United States
👉 The popularity of soccer is only growing with participation rates and interest rising in anticipation of the 2026 World Cup
There are thousands and thousands of players with the talent to play at the collegiate level, but coaches can only see so many players to evaluate their squads. This is why tournaments and showcases are so important.
This environment allows players to showcase their skills, and coaches to evaluate hundreds or even thousands of players in the span of a few days! They get the chance to see players play in person, see what they are like against the best competition from different states or countries, and even follow their performances throughout an entire weekend, watching not just one game, but potentially multiple!
Finding new and emerging talent can be tough, but it is even harder for players and teams to get on the radar of these college coaches. That is why this tournament-style environment is perfect for every party involved, coaches get to review numerous players, and players get to be directly in front of collegiate-level coaches.
