Directors of Coaching can submit recommendations of top boys and girls players with national team potential for consideration to the next id2 cycle. Information regarding the next id2 cycle will be announced in the spring.
Recommendations from coaches throughout the country are a key component of the id2 Program and supplement US Club Soccer’s scouting process that utilizes a network of scouts at games, tournaments and other high-level events across the country.
This comprehensive national scouting and recommendation program is used to form a pool from which top players are invited to attend an id2 Training Camp. At the camps, players work with some of the nation’s best coaches, play with and against some of the nation’s best players in their age group.
Because players significantly mature and can dramatically change in short periods of time at these ages, coaches should submit recommendations for top players ahead of each pair of camps regardless of whether the player has been previously recommended.
