Recruiting Events
The F4 Showbine is now accepting registrations from individual players to create “At-Large” teams. The F4 Showbine is a high end recruiting event that is the first of its kind to incorporate a skills combine rotation with game play. The second Showbine will be held at an all-turf, state-of-the-art facility in Flemington, NJ on November 12th and 13th. The brand new facility allows college coaches to see all the action from a heated scouting tower at one time, not just a single game thereby providing maximum exposure opportunities for the players. The Showbine will feature two sessions, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Sessions are limited to 24 teams. The F4 Showbine Individual registration will be available On-Line only beginning September 14th. There is limited space available and registrations will be accepted on a first-come-first served basis.
Teams will be limited to 24 players with a two-goalie max per team. Players will be able to register for one or two sessions. Each session will include a qualified coach to help assist and organize the players for the 3 full games and combine rotation at each session.

Each participant will play three games in front of many college coaches and have the opportunity to be one of the 42 players selected to the All-Star game. Teams will be comprised of 21 players, which will allow each participant to receive ample playing time.
