The MNUFC Development Academy U13 and U14 teams are gearing up for a trip to Frisco, Texas, this weekend to compete in the Central Conference Boys’ Regional Showcase. The tournament, which runs from Friday, October 20 to Sunday, October 22, represents the teams’ first chance to compete at a national level against competition including other MLS Academy teams from Houston, Orlando City and Sporting Kansas City.
The tournament is organized to maximize the opportunities for players to see different kinds of competition, so the U13 and U14 teams will play a pair of matches with 25-minute halves on Friday and Saturday, respectively, as a warm up for a full 80-minute match the next day.
