Socceristas – this one’s for you.
On June 13, 2026, something special is happening at COPA Soccer Training Center. For one day only, this incredible training environment will host an event built entirely for girls who truly live the game.
Welcome to SocceristaFest, the first-ever live event from Girls Soccer Network!
SocceristaFest isn’t just another soccer event. It’s a one-day experience designed to inspire, challenge, and connect the next generation of players — both on and off the field. Players will train, learn from experts, meet college & professional athletes they look up to, and become part of a community that believes big dreams in the women’s game are worth chasing.
This is where serious players come to grow.
A Full Day Built Around the Women’s Game
SocceristaFest is designed for girls ages 9–16 and the family members who support them. The day blends soccer development, education, inspiration, and culture into one unforgettable experience.
Expect:
- Skill-building workshops that challenge and develop your game
- Interactive conversations with expert speakers on topics like mental health, nutrition, ACL injury prevention, soccer parenting, and more
- A live podcast taping of the GSN Give N’ Go Podcast
- Meet & greets with pro and college players
- Live DJ
- Sponsor activations and interactive experiences throughout the day
It’s the kind of event where players leave feeling more confident, more motivated, and more connected to the women’s soccer community than ever before.
Why COPA STC Is the Perfect Place
There’s no better place to host SocceristaFest than COPA Soccer Training Center.
Spanning 117,000 square feet and welcoming nearly 750,000 visitors each year, COPA STC has become one of the most innovative soccer development environments in the United States.
Rather than relying on outdated development models focused only on short-term results, COPA is built around long-term player growth using objective assessment, technology, and athlete-first coaching.
At the center of the experience is the COPA Score, a comprehensive evaluation that measures technical, physical, and cognitive performance. Instead of a one-time snapshot, it provides a benchmark players can repeat over time to track their progress and better understand their development.
Inside COPA Soccer Training Center are some of the most advanced soccer training technologies in the world. Players can train in the COPA Cube, which measures passing accuracy and speed, as well as the skills.lab Arena, an immersive training environment designed to challenge decision-making and finishing under pressure.
The skills.lab innovation lab itself is one of only four globally — and the only one in the United States, placing COPA STC at the forefront of modern soccer development.
But the technology is only part of what makes COPA special. The philosophy behind the training emphasizes intentional development, curiosity, and a genuine love for the game, creating an environment where players improve while staying connected to the joy that brought them to soccer in the first place.
More Than an Event
SocceristaFest will bring together players, parents, coaches, and leaders across the soccer community for a day focused on what the future of the women’s game can look like.
Through hands-on experiences, meaningful conversations, and inspiring role models, the event is designed to help young athletes build confidence, gain knowledge, and feel supported in their soccer journey.
For players who dream big, and the families helping them chase those dreams, it’s a day that’s meant to spark something lasting.
