The National League is the most competitive league available in the country, and is an extension of the highly successful US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues (US Youth Soccer Region I Champions League, Midwest Regional League, Region III Premier League and Far West Regional League). National League teams are among the best in the nation and each team has had to earn their place in the league with a proven track record of success in US Youth Soccer regional and national competition, regardless of club affiliation or location.
The National League provides an avenue for teams to play in meaningful matches against top competition from across the country for continued development and opportunities for exposure at the national team, collegiate and professional levels. In addition to recruiting opportunities, the top two finishers from each division will earn a ticket to the 2015 US Youth Soccer National Championships in Tulsa, Okla., making each match valuable to the teams’ fate as it could make or break their chance at competing for the National Championship. The top two finishers in the Under-14, 15, 16 and 17 age groups will also earn an automatic spot in the 2015-16 National League season.
Just five Boys teams and four Girls teams have solidified a top-two finish in their division and a place in the 2015 National Championships. Entering play in Las Vegas, 31 spots — 15 for the Boys and 16 for the Girls — are still up for grabs, as a majority of the teams head into the event with hopes of punching a ticket to Tulsa, OK.
