WHAT IS NC YOUTH SOCCER CLASSIC LEAGUE

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.

  2. 16-20 practices (fall or spring season only), 32-40 practices (both season teams)
