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.

COLLEGE COACHES
Player Profile Books
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 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.
