When Twin City Youth Soccer and the Men’s and Women’s Soccer Programs of Wake Forest University decided to work together on a showcase event, our goal was to create a special event that was more than just another soccer tournament.  We believe that we have succeeded! 

In addition to high level competition, we are going to provide a unique experience for your players, coaches and families that will differentiate the WilcoHess Southern Soccer Showcase.  

Check out the information below on the special events & activities that are occurring in conjunction with our event:


Boys Weekend

Due to the 4+ inches of rain received between 4/3 and 4/5, the Boys Weekend of the Southern Soccer Showcase was cancelled.  While we were all disappointed that the outdoor games for the weekend were cancelled, 20 of the participating teams remained in Winston Salem for a full day of indoor soccer at the Winston Salem Indoor Soccerplex.  72 matches were held over a 12 hour period and while it couldn't match playing outdoors, the boys seemed to leave both happy and tired.


Girls Weekend

Saturday, April 12th:

 

  • Wake Forest will host the ACC Women’s Spring Soccer tournament at the BB&T Soccer Park.  The tournament field includes 2007 NCAA Tournament participants Wake Forest, UNC, Duke, and Clemson along will fellow ACC rivals, Virginia Tech and NC State.  

    * No tournament matches will be scheduled during the ACC tournament matches, so that your players, coaches and families can experience women’s college soccer at its finest.
     

We believe that you will agree; the WilcoHess Southern Soccer Showcase is going to be a very special and unique event.  Come join us!
