1. What is I-10 Futbol Alliance?
The Alliance is comprised of some of the Southeast's most successful soccer clubs along the Interstate-10 corridor, and offers access to the Southeastern region's top showcase tournaments. Our alliance offers players the opportunity to compete at a higher level by combining top coaches and top players for top performance. In our first year, we will provide training, registration and entry for 3 elite teams in one Premier Spring College Showcase and one Premier Fall College Showcase.
2. Why I-10 Futbol Alliance?
The leaders of these clubs looked at the current and future direction of soccer in the Southeast and the surrounding region and determined the current landscape offered limited opportunities for any single club, but together we could expand those opportunities for our players. This is a radical shift in how clubs operate and more specifically, in how they cooperate. It fulfills an important need in player development and builds a new pathway for elite players by offering a higher level of competition than any single club can typically achieve. By pooling our resources, this alliance produces an incredibly high-quality soccer product that attracts attention from collegiate scouts and coaches. Over time, this visibility and level of competition can bring greater success to all Member clubs and add to the growing interest in player development across the nation.
3. How much does it cost?
The Alliance accomplishes all coordination, coaching, registration, and carding of players for approximately $299 per player (may vary +/- $50 depending on event fees).
