Oscar Avilez (Midfielder – Smithtown Kickers)
Smithtown Kickers excelled at the Conference Playoffs and Avilez played a major part in their success. The skillful attacking midfielder bagged five goals in three games, with opposition defenses unable to cope with his late runs into the box and clinical finishing.

Champions Pool

Past experiences suggest Columbus United G10 Lions (OH) will be a top contender for the Champions Pool title in Tampa. The defending USYS National Champions won all three games at the Conference Playoffs and did so without conceding a goal. They’ll look to continue their winning ways at National League P.R.O.

Columbus will be joined in Tampa by two more teams that went unbeaten at the Conference Playoffs, as BVB IA Pittsburgh 10G Premier (PA-W) and Team Challenger FC G10 Black (OH) will each look to build off strong performances.

North Shore United 10G Blue (WI) also brings plenty of confidence to Tampa after it won the champions pool at the Elite 64 Playoffs. The Wisconsin side displayed resiliency in winning three straight one-goal games to claim the event title. The title game featured a tight 2-1 win against WNY Flash Rochester 10G Elite 64 (NY-W), which will be another team to watch during the National League P.R.O. action in Tampa.

Wildcard Pool

After proving itself over the course of four wins in four days at the Elite 64 Playoffs, Elmbrook United 10G Elite 64 (WI) will look to continue to make a name for itself during the action in Tampa. The Wisconsin side earned a berth to National League P.R.O. by winning the wildcard pool last month in Orlando, and it did so under the pressure of a penalty kick shootout in its final game.

Coppermine SC 10G Elite 64 (MD) also enjoyed a strong showing at the Elite 64 Playoffs. After a narrow loss to eventual champions pool winner North Shore United, the Maryland side won back-to-back games and finished with a plus-four goal differential for the event.

Galaxy SC 09B Elite 64 (IL) came away from the Elite 64 Playoffs with three close wins, as it claimed the champions pool title. With shutouts in two of those three games, Galaxy proved it can be a difficult side to break down, which could lead to success in Tampa.

Silver Pool

Cedar Stars 09B Elite 64 (NJ) won two of its three games last month in Orlando, and it showed it can take multiple avenues to victory — scoring seven times in one win and earning a 1-0 shutout in the other.

Wildcard Pool

A model of consistency, Club Ohio 09B Elite 64 (OH) brings a battle-tested side to National League P.R.O.

All of those sides will aim to regain their form from December when the action begins in Tampa.

Silver Pool

A powerful attack helped South Shore Legacy G2009 (NY-E) to the age group’s best goal differential at the Conference Playoffs, and that will make it a challenge for the rest of the silver pool group in Tampa. KC Legends 2009G Elite 64 (KS) will be another team to watch after it won each of its games at the Elite 64 Playoffs.

Wildcard Pool

Michigan Tigers 09G Elite 64 (MI) won four straight games at the Elite 64 Playoffs to claim the wildcard pool’s berth to National League P.R.O. The Tigers kept three clean sheets in the process and outscored opponents by 11 goals — showing they could be a team to watch at National League P.R.O.

Champions Pool

No team in this age group was as statistically impressive at the playoff level as Stony Brook LGN Wildlings Blue B2008 (NY-E). The New York side won all three of its games in Orlando, and it did so by shutting out each opponent while finding the back of the net 14 times. Pateadores SC Nashville 08B (TN) also kept three clean sheets at the Conference Playoffs, as it picked up two victories and a draw to win its group.

At the Elite 64 Playoffs, PDA Hibernian 08B Elite 64 outlasted Toca FC 08B Elite 64 in a dramatic penalty kick shootout to claim the champions pool title. PDA’s ability to grind out victories will be an advantage in Tampa. Meanwhile, the shootout loss was a small blip on an otherwise strong showing for Toca, which won the 2023 Elite 64 National Finals title, and it shouldn’t be overlooked at National League P.R.O.

Silver Pool

Teams can’t overlook defending USYS National Champion Utah Celtic FC 08B (UT), which came a goal away from winning its playoff group. Sporting PA 2008 Boys (PA-E) also had a strong showing at the Conference Playoffs, as it went unbeaten and outscored opponents by five goals.

Champions Pool

Three teams posted perfect records at the Conference Playoffs, led by Germantown Lady Legends 08 Black (TN), which outscored its opponents, 8-to-1. MS Rush United 08G Premier (MS) and FC 814 Energy (PA-W) were the other sides to pick up three wins in Orlando, and they’ll each look to make noise when they take the field in Tampa.

Another team to watch will be Team Boca 08G Elite 64 (FL), which won each of its games at the Elite 64 Playoffs en route to winning the champions pool title. Team Boca posted two shutouts before recording a 2-1 come-from-behind win in the playoff title game — showing that the Florida side is able to win as a frontrunner or when facing adversity.

Silver Pool

Sporting PA FCE 2008G Elite (PA-E) came a goal away from winning its group at the Conference Playoffs, as it managed a plus-four goal differential while going 2-1-0. With similar success in Tampa, it could challenge for the silver pool’s berth to Nationals. The same can be said for WNY Flash Rochester 08G Elite 64 (NY-W), which won all three of its games at the Elite 64 Playoffs while outscoring opponents, 11-to-1.

Wildcard Pool

Michigan Tigers 08G Elite 64 (MI) earned its place in National League P.R.O. by winning the wildcard pool at the Elite 64 Playoffs.

Champions Pool

Defending USYS National Champion La Roca J Milla (UT) hasn’t skipped a beat since it lifted the trophy last July. The Utah side outscored opponents by 22 goals during the Conference Playoffs and will aim to continue its stellar play during the action in Tampa. FC United DSM 2007B (IA) and Athletum FC Elite 2007 (FL) each had their own strong showings at the Conference Playoffs, as they outscored opponents by 13 and 9, respectively, while winning all three games.

Toca FC 07B Elite 64 (KS) will aim to continue its good form after it won the champions pool at the Elite 64 Playoffs. The Kansas side showed displayed grit in equalizing in the final minutes of the title game before winning in penalties, and that mental fortitude will make it a tough matchup for opponents in Tampa.

Silver Pool

At the Elite 64 Playoffs, Ohio Galaxies FC 07B Elite 64 (OH) built up plenty of momentum while winning its three games and outscoring opponents, 10-to-1. That should make it a confident group leading into National League P.R.O.

Wildcard Pool

Impenetrable defense helped St. Louis Development Academy 07B Elite 64 (MO) win four straight games at the Elite 64 Playoffs to win the wildcard pool title. That performance, which saw St. Louis keep clean sheets in each match, allowed it to advance to Tampa.

Champions Pool

After coming away from the Elite 64 Playoffs with three clean sheets, Coppermine SC 07G Elite 64 (MD) will have its sights set on a National League P.R.O. title in Tampa. The Maryland side won the champions pool last month in Orlando, so it has shown the ability to string together wins against top-class opponents.

Coppermine will have plenty of challengers for the top spot in Tampa, including three teams that posted perfect records at the Conference Playoffs. AFA Fillies 2007G Ruthless (MO) and Nationals Union 07 Girls Black (MI) each posted shutouts in their three December wins, scoring nine and eight goals, respectively.

Champions Pool

A high-powered offense helped CT Rush Select 2006B (CT) go 3-0-0 at the Conference Playoffs while outscoring its opponents by 21 goals. A similar showing at National League P.R.O. will put opponents under immense pressure. Likewise, MSC Academy 05 (IL) and Galaxy SC 05B NL (IL) each won their three games in December at will aim to carry that form into National League P.R.O.

Oregon Premier 05/06B Elite 64 (OR) will be another team to watch in Tampa after it won the champions pool at the Elite 64 Playoffs. Two of its three wins came by three-goal margins, so Oregon’s confidence should be high heading to Tampa.

Silver Pool

Big games are nothing new for Libertyville FC 1974 05/06B Elite 64 (IL), which features several players from last year’s USYS National Championship-winning side. FC 1974 bounced back from a Day 1 loss at the Elite 64 Playoffs to win its next two games, and it will aim to continue that form in Tampa.

Another team hoping to pick up where it left off at the playoff level is BGFC Golden Lions Academy 2006 Gold (KY). The Lions recorded two clean sheets before narrowly falling, 2-1, to group winner CT Rush, and it will aim to get back on the winning track at National League P.R.O.

Wildcard Pool

Clutch performances in close games helped Utah Celtic FC 05/06B Elite 64 (UT) win four straight games — each by one-goal margins — at the Elite 64 Playoffs. That experience will benefit Utah at National League P.R.O. when it will encounter more must-win situations.

The Illinois side won the 2022 USYS National Championship and was a finalist at the 2023 Elite 64 National Finals.

Chattanooga Red Wolves 06G (TN) and DMV FC 2006G Blue (VA) each displayed plenty of firepower of their own, as they scored 15 goals and 12 goals, respectively, while both going 3-0-0 at the December playoffs in Orlando. With plenty of attacking talent in the field, it should be an exciting competition for the top spot at National League P.R.O.

Silver Pool

After nearly winning its Conference Playoffs group and compiling a plus-six goal differential, JB Marine Garabedian 2006G (MO) could make some noise in the silver pool’s group at National League P.R.O. It will need to contend with Indiana Fire Academy 05/06G Elite 64 (IN), which put in three clutch performances at the Elite 64 Playoffs to leave with close victories in each of its games.

Wildcard Pool

After showing impressive consistency at the Elite 64 Playoffs, St. Croix 05/06 NL (MN) will be a team to keep an eye on during the action in Tampa. The Minnesota side won each of its games by two goals last month in Orlando en route to securing the wildcard pool’s berth to National League P.R.O.
