Sixteen clubs represented on id2 National Selection International Tour

(Via US Club Soccer) – Sixteen clubs were represented by 18 players on the 2018 id2 National Selection International Tour to Spain, March 22-April 3. The 16 clubs span both coasts and field competitive teams in leagues, including the National Premier Leagues (NPL).

The 2018 id2 National Selection team competed in a pair of scrimmages, including one against Girona FC Infantil A, before participating in the Mediterranean International Cup, where the boys ultimately lost to RCD Espanyol Infantil A, 3-0, in the round of 16.

Hawaii Rush Soccer Club featured two players on the trip – Logan Calpito, who has now joined Pacific Northwest DA, and Cristóbal León – as well as Scottsdale Soccer Blackhawks: Niall Dunn and Kevin Mearse.

The * indicates the club competes at the NPL level.

The clubs listed are where the athletes played when they were identified and selected. Since being identified, players may have changed clubs, or – in a common progression for National Selection alumni – joined the Development Academy.
