Age Groups
The McLean Premier Cup presents an outstanding event for teams to get ready for the start of their spring season! Presented by Elite Tournaments and McLean Youth Soccer, this event is open to Boys and Girls teams ranging from U13 to U19. All games will be played on all-weather, synthetic turf fields. With over 50 college coaches attending this event each year, players have the unique opportunity to showcase their skills while still playing games in championship format!
Elite Tournaments and McLean Youth Soccer have partnered with Leveling the Playing Field to collect used sports equipment to give to underprivileged communities where children may not have affordable access to sporting goods and programs. They have donated over 100,000 items to youth sports organizations allowing them to reduce the cost of entry into these programs. Leveling the Playing Field’s donations have 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! Donations can be dropped off at the headquarters area or with your field marshal.
Don’t forget to use #McLeanPremierCup on all your posts and photos.
