History

South Bronx United first hosted the College Showcase Tournament on Easter Weekend in 2010 at Macombs Dam Field. The next year, the event moved to Randalls Island. In 2014, Downtown United Soccer Club (DUSC) partnered with South Bronx United to create the City Showcase Tournament. The event has attracted more than 100 boys and girls teams per year from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Virginia, Texas, Canada, and England with over 90 college coaches registered to attend. The Student-Athlete Symposium was held in 2014, 2015, and 2017 at Baruch College and Upper 90 Astoria. It featured guest speakers including former USA Men’s National Team Captain Claudio Reyna and New York City FC player and Fordham University graduate Ryan Meara and panelists varying from admissions officers to college coaches at all levels.
