As part of the National Standards Project, iSoccer will have an on-site presence at the National Cup IX Finals and National Collegiate Showcase. The National Standards Project aims to establish a technical baseline for players of all ages in order to raise the level of soccer in the United States.

ABOUT:
U-13 through U-17 teams from each 2010 National Cup IX Regional will advance to the 2010 National Cup IX Finals, where national championships will be awarded in two competitive divisions.

For the third successive year, the 2010 National Collegiate Showcase will be held alongside the National Cup Finals in Virginia Beach, Va., maximizing college coach and scout attendance. Like last year, the 2010 event will be split into separate dates for boys' and girls' teams to better accommodate the large number of participating teams.
