Boys kick off 2019-20 National League season in Panama City Beach, Fla.

Day 1 of 5 complete

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 11, 2019) — Some of the top teams in the country showcased their talent on Wednesday, as several energetic matchups marked the beginning of the US Youth Soccer National League season for all 17U-19U Boys teams.

The opening event of the National League Boys season will continue on Thursday, when the 15U and 16U Boys teams will join the older age groups in taking to the fields in Panama City Beach, Fla. All teams competing this week will play the first four games of their National League season.

National League teams earn their place in the league based on a proven track record of success in US Youth Soccer’s top competitive programs and are among the nation’s best. Competing for a league title and a spot in the US Youth Soccer National Championships, each and every game will play into who represents the National League this coming summer in Overland Park, Kan.

More than 100 college coaches lined the sidelines on Wednesday and more are expected to attend this National League event to scout some of the top teams and players in the country. The competitive level of each game adds to player evaluation, as every team has to earn its place in the league, regardless of location or club affiliation.

“The National League is a great platform for our guys,” said Kalamazoo Kingdom SC 03 Red (MI) coach Chad Wiseman following his team’s 1-1 draw against Lake Grove Newfield Dynamite 2003 (NY-E).

“We get to play against other clubs from different regions that have different styles and come from different climates — essentially, challenge ourselves against some of the best club players in the United States. That’s a great opportunity for our guys.”

The 14U Boys teams will play their first games Dec. 27-30 in Tampa, Fla. All National League Girls teams previously played their first four games of the season in November or early December.

National League action will continue Thursday, Dec. 12, with the 15U-19U Boys teams in action. Complete standings, scores and schedules, including goal scorers and match information, can be found at the results page here. Click on the score of each game for more information.
