Presidents Day

May 8th and 9th, 2010
It has always seemed strange that the Boston area does not have a major showcase. There are over 400 college soccer programs located within a five-hour drive. The majority of these programs (73%) are private school programs. Why is that important to you?
  1. The majority of colleges attending any showcase drive to the event. There are 2 or 3 exceptions to this rule.
  2. The cost of a scholarship for a private school is the same whether the player is from in state or out of state. The cost of an out of state player is higher for a state school program.
  3. Given the state of the economy, travel budgets are being cut by many institutions.
With all the available showcase why come to ours?
  • We are in the right place and at the right times. We picked Mother’s Day because most colleges are still open, but all spring soccer programs have ended. This creates availability for coaches.
  • We believe attending showcases with a significant number of private school coaches is an integral piece of a showcase strategy. This should be combined with attending local or regional showcases that attract state and private schools in your area.
Last year we started a two day showcase over Mother’s Day weekend. The event attracted over 65 coaches from some of the nation’s top educational universities,

What makes us different?

 

Our Mother’s Day event is designed as a three game minimum, two games on Saturday and one on Sunday. Games end in the early afternoon on Sunday and we don’t start until 9am on Saturday. This allows teams time to drive and helps minimize travel expenses.

 

We feel confident the event:
  1. Will draw many coaches even in this economic environment,
The Devens facility is about 30 minutes outside of Boston and less than an hour’s drive from Logan Airport, Easy access to Rt. 2 and Rt. 495 It has 11 fields all at one complex, a great layout for recruiting. The fields are in excellent shape and are only available for league and tournament play. Mirror Lake is open for picnics, swimming or just to take a "dip" between matches. The fee is $750 per team for either event.

 

All players must have a current year registration. The Event will be limited to 96 teams (48 boys and 48 girls) ages u16 and U17. It will be a three game minimum event played on May 9 (2 games) and May 10 (1 game). Games for MAPLE teams on Sunday will be scheduled first to allow time to get to the MAPLE scheduled game.

 

All MAPLE teams that feel that they have a conflict with the league schedule should contact Kathy Irwin, Kathy has agreed to accommodate the teams for the benefit of the Tournament participation.
