National League

The US Youth Soccer National League provides the top league competition in USYS and 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 while providing a qualification pathway to...
  • the current season's USYS Regional Championships
  • the next seasonal year of National League P.R.O.
•  National League P.R.O. (Player. Recruitment. Opportunity.) serves as the competitive national league format in which teams compete for direct advancement to the annual US Youth Soccer National Championships. Teams earn their place into National League P.R.O. each season through their performance in the Conferences.
   
• The National League Showcase Series provides opportunities for more teams to participate in showcases that match up similar teams from varying areas of the country in a national platform.

What is #EarnYourPlace?

Earn Your Place is the official hashtag of the Leagues Program and has been used specifically by the National League for a majority of the league's existence.  It refers to the opportunity for the teams to earn their way into US Youth Soccer's top league and the continued challenges that present chances for teams and players to regularly prove themselves.
