MEMPHIS EVENT
This event is only for State Teams. It will take place February 15-17 in Memphis, TN. In the event that a State Team player is unavailable to attend, we will invite certain Pool Players that are available. The schedule is still being finalized, but the plan will be to play 1 game each day. Hotel information will be sent by Friday, January 24. If you are trying to plan flights, we suggest a late afternoon flight on Monday.

The cost of the event will be $245 per player. Registration information will be sent along with hotel information. The event will be held at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex, 9000 E. Shelby Dr. Memphis, TN 38125.

This event will not be keeping scores or standings. This is an interregional event where staff will be looking for players to invite to the Midwest Regional Camp in the Summer. Nashville FC, Orlando City, Sporting KC, and Portland Timbers are slated to be in attendance in Memphis, along with US Soccer for both the Boys and the Girls. Representation from South and Midwest Region ODP will also be in attendance.
