To get the opportunity to play college soccer, you need to be seen as a youth player playing against the best players in the country.  Coaches want to see the best against the best, because it is the only way to get an accurate assessment of performance and potential.

The ECNL operates the biggest college showcase events in the country.  ECNL showcases attract on average nearly 900 college coaches from across the country - from every region, and from every level.  The competition is the best against the best, in the most prominent and prestigious environment in the country.

Below are examples of the college recruiting exposure provided to FC Wisconsin players in the ECNL.  This is just one example of the colleges that watched at least one game of one FC Wisconsin team at one ECNL event:
