2015-16 National League Las Vegas Schedules: Boys | Girls

FRISCO, Texas (Via US Youth Soccer) — The schedule has been announced for the final two weekends of 2015-16 US Youth Soccer National League play in Las Vegas, where 15 division titles will be decided. National League division winners and runners-up qualify for the 2016 US Youth Soccer National Championships, adding an extra element of excitement to the final weekends of play.

The games will be played alongside the Player’s College Showcase, as the National League teams have another opportunity to compete in front of collegiate and national team coaches while playing meaningful matches against top competition.

The National League provides an avenue for teams to play in meaningful matches against top competition from across the country for continued development and opportunities for exposure at the national team, collegiate and professional levels. In addition to recruiting opportunities, the top two finishers from each division will earn a ticket to the 2016 US Youth Soccer National Championships in Frisco, Texas, creating additional value and pressure as each game could make or break their chance at competing for the National Championship. The top finishers in the Under-14, 15, 16 and 17 age groups will also earn an automatic spot in the 2016-17 National League season.

Just six Boys teams and five Girls teams have solidified a top-two finish in their division and a place in the 2016 National Championships. Entering play in Las Vegas, 29 spots — 14 for the Boys and 15 for the Girls — are still up for grabs, as a majority of the teams head into the event with hopes of punching a ticket to Frisco, Texas.
