The Nation's Capital Cup - Boys Weekend

The Nation's Capital Cup Presented by Elite Tournaments and McLean Youth Soccer will take place in Fairfax, VA and will feature all weather synthetic turf fields. With weather being such a factor this time of year we are offering our multiple turf field complexes at a reasonable price. Teams will receive a 3-game minimum and all age groups will be a Championship Format with finals. The event will be open to all levels of play for U9-U19 Boys Only.

Overview

Leveling The Playing Field collects used sports equipment to give to underpriviliged communities where children may not have affordable access to sports equipment and programs. They’ve donated over 100,000 items to youth sports organizations allowing them to reduce the cost of entry into these programs. It has also allowed these programs to hire and train more staff for additional programs and more personalized coaching. We will be collecting used sports equipment for Leveling The Playing Field at all of our tournament locations! Drop off donations at the headquarters area or with your field marshal.

Don't forget to use #NationsCup on all your posts and photos!

Please make sure that you update your player profile information in the GotSoccer system so it is accessible by college coaches. You may need to contact your team manager or coach to add this information. This is the information that will be given to college coaches looking to recruit players.

Player Self-Recruiting

Elite Tournaments highly recommends that players reach out to the schools that they are interested in playing for. Many coaches come to our events to scout for pick up players, but will not realize that you are interested in playing for their team unless you reach out to them! We also know that you have many schools that you are looking to play for that are not currently signed up to attend our event. You are encouraged to reach out to schools you are looking to attend, and let them know which events you will be playing in this season. We welcome you to invite these coaches to attend this event. If you have a coach that you are inviting to attend, please have them pre-register at the link above.
