National League

The US Youth Soccer National League is comprised of three areas of competition. The primary league competition features 13 regionally aligned National League Conferences that operate team-based and club-based leagues. Two national-level competitions — the National League Showcase Series and the National League Playoffs — provide connectivity between the conferences and offer a platform for teams to play unique cross-conference matches with added exposure to scouts. The National League Playoffs also provide teams with opportunities to advance to the US Youth Soccer National Championships.
