Westchester Flames player earns spot on U15/16 Boys USLX team

After a strong showing at the 2017 Super Y League Finals, Oscar Garcia is among the 72 boys and girls selected to attend the 2018 USL Experience, hosted by Phoenix Rising FC.

While competing in December with the Westchester Flames, Garcia helped lead his team through the group stage all the way to a championship match appearance. The scouts on hand took notice of his play as Garcia made the most of his high-exposure opportunity.

Now Garcia will get a chance to further impress the scouts at the 2018 USL Experience. As he trains, competes and meets with the professionals at Phoenix Rising FC, Garcia will be observed by collegiate, MLS and U.S. Soccer scouts, giving him another opportunity to gain exposure within the Super Y League.

The USL Experience provides top SYL players with some of the highest-level youth competition in the country while delivering a unique look into professional American soccer through the league’s relationship with the United Soccer Leagues, LLC, operators of the Division II USL, the new USL Division III, the Premier Development League and the SYL.
