TSC Teams Successful in Presidents Cup, Southern Regionals, and ECNL Postseason

FRANKLIN, TN – The Tennessee Soccer Club 2009 Williamson Girls Showcase team advanced to the United States Youth Soccer Presidents Cup National Semifinals at the Tournament Sportsplex of Tampa Bay in Tampa, FL this July. 


“It was an incredible season where we won together, learned together, and never stopped fighting.” said TSC 2009 Williamson Showcase coach Leonardo Santamaria. “Not only did we achieve great results on the field, but we also grew as a team, and as a family.”


The 2012 Williamson Girls Showcase team also shared travel plans to Tampa after a USYS Presidents Cup Southern Regional Championship.


Meanwhile, 800 miles to the north, the ECNL RL (Elite Clubs National League Regional League) Girls National Finals were also taking place at the West Creek Field Complex in Richmond, VA. The 2012 ECNL RL Girls, champions of the ECNL RL Central Regional Playoffs, competed against Legends FC from California in the National Quarterfinal match.


Two weeks later, the Southern Regional Champion 2011 ECNL RL Girls traveled to Orlando, FL to play in the USYS National Championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex where they won two games, but were edged out by the eventual National Runners-up.


“When you get a group of girls who work so hard, enjoy being around each other and have fun every time we get together, it’s what makes coaching so enjoyable,” said the 2011 ECNL RL Girls Bossman. “It’s why I love doing this and why I’ve loved having this group of girls.”


Overall, many teams competed this summer at various regional championship events including USYS Southern Regionals, Presidents Cup Southern Regionals, ECNL National Playoffs, ECNL RL Regional Playoffs, and SuperCopa all representing TSC.


“I’m incredibly proud of how our TSC teams grew throughout the year and built towards these moments,” said Director of Soccer Stephen Jordan. “As we shift into 2025-26, I am excited to see what we can achieve into the future.”
