2020 TALENT ID TRAINING SESSIONS

About Talent ID Centers

Loudoun Soccer’s Boys ECNL Talent Centers are primary player-identification and assessment opportunities for local talent interested in joining Loudoun Soccer’s ECNL teams.

The Talent ID Centers are different than normal Travel tryouts, which are open enrollment and attendance. Talent ID Centers are open applications; however, they operate on an invitation only basis! Players will be invited for specific training dates/times to ensure a controlled, high-level training environment. Showing up without an invitation is not allowed (e.g. no on-site registration can occur).

Note: The application submits your player’s name into the player registration pool but does NOT automatically make your player eligible for participation in a Talent Center. Registration does NOT guarantee your player an opportunity to participate. Upon review of all applications, invitations will be sent to players who will be invited to participate in the ID Center. A club representative will contact players invited to participate two to three days prior to the scheduled session. If your player is not contacted, then hehas not been selected.

Players should bring a properly inflated soccer ball. Shinguards are required. Please dress for the elements, including hats and gloves if weather dictates. Players should report directly to the check-in table upon arrival, and be ready to play.

Invitations to join a Loudoun Soccer ECNL team will be extended on a rolling basis. Please email Loudoun Soccer Boys ECNL Director, Maurice Hughes, with any questions.
