FCV Hosting Disney/ECNL Tune up

FC Virginia and our host club FPYC are hosting a weekend of competitive scrimmages in preparation for the upcoming Disney Soccer Showcase and The Orange Classic to be held in Florida over the upcoming holiday break. Joining FCV teams will be teams from Freestate and Bethesda soccer clubs, the only two other clubs from the Washington, DC region who, along with FCV, are members of the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL).

While event is a scrimmage in name, the soccer will be real and competitive, as the teams look to sharpen their edges in preparation for these important holiday tournaments, where they'll face some of the best teams in the country with the opportunity to be seen by potentially hundreds of college coaches, national team, and professional team scouts.

The games will be held at Draper Drive Park, in Fairfax City, VA this Saturday and Sunday, December 12th and 13th. The fields are turf, so the games will go on unless there is snow or ice accumulation.

College coaches will also be attending, and others are invited. Team brochures will be distributed by each team at their games. If you're a college coach intending to attend, and have not already been in touch with FCV, please email terryfoley@fcvirginia.com or call 703-433-1887. It is not required, but would be appreciated.
