The premier match takes place the evening of Saturday, Oct. 7, when the U.S. youth national team takes on the Chivas USA U-18 Academy Team on the Mooch Myernick Field at The Home Depot Center.
A total of 40 matches will be played during the weekend showcase, which is expected to draw a host of college coaches and scouts from Southern California and beyond. Additionally, national staff coaches will use the Fall Showcase to identify players for places in upcoming national team camps.

Director of Coaching Bob Jenkins.
