HS Coed (16U-19U) Program Overview
Teams are formed by the school district. In the event that a district does not have enough players, we will work to combine districts to form a solid team.
HS Coed (18-19U) - 18+ "Adult Athlete" Additional Information
Starting in 2021 season year, ALL participants (Players, staff, and volunteers) 18 years of age or older, that are registered under the United States Soccer Federation - the governing body of Soccer in the United States - must complete the NCYSA Risk Management and SafeSport programs. These programs are designed to create a safe environment for all athletes, coaches, and staff in ALL of youth sports, not just soccer.
