High-level talent can be found very easily, spanning from academies to town teams, as the talent of soccer players on Long Island is extensive and oftentimes unseen by many college scouts. Using the comparison made before, Virginia has six full ECNL clubs, whereas Long Island has two, serving the same population base.&nbsp; This article will highlight 6 uncommitted high school players from both Nassau and Suffolk Counties across the classes of 2028 and 2029 that you should get to know. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Long Island Soccer!&nbsp; Definitely looking forward to live evaluations, and with the talent level from this group, I might be seeing them at major ECNL tournaments or the coveted National Playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Featured Players are:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='231871' first='Addison' last='Ingwersen']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Samantha Costa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sophia Homan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sofia Santana</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reese Kopke</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quinn Diminico</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Player #1 - [player_tooltip player_id='231871' first='Addison' last='Ingwersen'] - Class of 2029 - Kings Park High School - Striker/Forward</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["231871"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68facca46ffe0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='231871' first='Addison' last='Ingwersen'] is quickly making a name for herself as one of the most promising young forwards in New York State.
