NC YOUTH SOCCER CLASSIC LEAGUE

True Player Development Starts Here

WHAT IS NCYSA CLASSIC?

The NC Youth Soccer Association (NCYSA) is North Carolina's affiliate of US Youth Soccer. Our classic teams compete in the 3rd and 2nd Divisions in NCYSA, as well as various tournaments.

Coached by licensed staff, these teams train 1-2 times weekly, play 8-10 league games, and attend at least one tournament each season (Fall/Spring). Participation varies by team, with some requiring commitment for either fall or spring, while others require both.

TRYOUTS FOR 2026-2027

All players must attend their age-specific tryouts. Dates can be found here: CLICK HERE FOR TRYOUT DATES, TIMES AND LOCATIONS.


Regular registration is $20, and late/on-site registration is $40.


After tryouts, selected players will be notified via PlayMetrics to join a team. Once they accept their position and make payment through PlayMetrics, they will begin monthly payments for the season.

TOURNAMENT ENTRY


Players in our Classic Program teams will have the option to enter into the "Kepner Presidents Cup" or the "USYS State Cup" based on their ability during the Classic League season. These are the top tournaments in the state, exclusive to NCYSA affiliated teams.


All teams can participate in one of these tournaments if they choose to do so, at no extra charge. Teams can also choose to attend a lesser tournament in place of the State Cup/Kepner Cup series if they choose.  However, if a team chooses to enter an additional tournament (2nd tournament) during the year, there may be a fee of $50-$60 per player, decided by the team, parents, and coach.
