Join us for our 3rd event to be hosted in 2012!  Last year we hosted over 360 teams.  Our boys event was the #1 rated event in Massachusetts in 2011, according to GotSoccer, and our girls event was rated #5.  Our 2012 event will be played at fantastic facilities including the Fruit St. Complex in Hopkinton, Marshall St. Complex in Holliston, Forekicks in Marlborough, and the Citizens Bank Fields at Progin Park in Lancaster, along with other fantastic field turf pitches like those at Framingham State College, Belmont Hill School, and Worcester Academy.
 
 

Welcome to our Tournament Website!

The NEFC Preseason Tournament is an event that takes place prior to the Spring outdoor competitive soccer season.  We are a GotSoccer event.  The tournament is hosted by NEFC, one of New England's largest premier clubs with some of the region's top youth teams.  In our first two years, our event played host to a wide variety of teams from New England, New York, New Jersey, and Canada!

All of our games take place on synthetic surfaces, making our event virtually weather-proof.  We will even make every effort possible to remove snow at these facilities in the event it is an issue.  Our facilities are some of the top in the region, and we will play where others will have to cancel!

Our College Showcase event takes place in a region surrounded by some of the finest institutions in the country, and programs in the New York and New Jersey regions are easily within driving distance.  In 2011, over 150 Men's and Women's programs were represented.  In each case we had New England's top Division 1 programs as well as a variety of smaller and less competitive programs send coaches to attend our tournament.  

New for 2012 - College Showcase teams will play three seventy minute matches over the course of the three days.
