The US Youth Soccer National League is comprised of three core formats of competition:

ELITE 64
The top club-based league format in the National League, offering like-minded elite clubs with a platform to compete in an advanced league setting while focusing on maximizing the experience of the players. Elite 64 league play determines the team’s path into the Elite 64 Playoffs.

CONFERENCES
Operate team-based league competition in 13 different geographical areas across the country. The conferences provide a direct qualification pathway to the current season’s USYS Regional Championships, as well as the following season’s National League Conference Playoffs.

NATIONAL EVENTS
Teams come together in an environment in which every team is guaranteed to play meaningful games. Teams begin at the Playoffs stage, and top performers move on to National League P.R.O., where the best of Elite 64 and the Conferences come together to compete for direct advancement to the annual USYS National Championships.
