FRISCO, Texas (March 8, 2010) – The US Youth Soccer National League Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 Boys and Girls teams will resume league play March 19-21 at Bettye Wilson Soccer Complex in Las Vegas as a part of the 2010 Player's Soccer Showcase.

 

Games will feature four of eight boys and girls teams per age group. At the end of the weekend, the National League champions and the remaining 10 of 12 League qualifiers for the 2010 US Youth Soccer National Championships will be determined. The Under-15 Girls Dallas Texans 95 Red and Under-17 Boys GSA Phoenix (GA) have already secured a seat at the National Championships via League success.

"This final weekend of US Youth Soccer National League play is huge, not only will champions be named in each gender age group, but the first 12 teams advancing to the prestigious US Youth Soccer National Championships will be determined." said Paul Luchowski, US Youth Soccer National League commissioner. "As with each weekend of play, the National League will continue to provide additional value and exposure for its elite players to collegiate, professional and U.S. National Team coaches as the games are held alongside the 2010 Player's Soccer Showcase."

The League is an extension of the highly successful US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues - US Youth Soccer Region I (East) Premier League, Midwest Regional League, Region III (South) Premier League and Far West Regional League. In addition to recruiting opportunities, National League teams compete for the league title and two slots per gender age group to the annual National Championships.

Since its inception, National League representatives have captured a combined eight National Championships. In 2008, seven of the eight championship finals slots in the Under-15 and 16 age groups were won by National League teams, which resulted in the League's first four National Championships. The League notched four more National Championship titles in 2009 including the Under-15 Boys (Baltimore Casa Mia Bays) and Girls (San Diego Surf) as well as Under-16 Boys (Dallas Texans 93 Red) and Under-17 Girls (Eclipse Select).
