U15-U19 Green teams: Some of these teams attend President’s Day Weekend event in Phoenix or Las Vegas

U13-U19 Green teams: These teams attend theUS Club Soccer National Cup Midwest in Chicago. Teams that win this event (at any level) advance to the USCS National Cup in July in Colorado.

U13-U19 NPL “Super” Tier teams (most Green teams): Teams that win their league advance to the NPL Finals in July in Colorado, and teams are required to attend.

U13-U19 NPL “Super” Tier teams (most Green teams): Most of these teams will participate in the Minnesota Cup in late May: teams that win this travel to the USCS National Cup in July in Colorado.

U10-U19 teams outside of the list above may consider a driveable travel tournament; interested teams should have their coach and team manager contact the Operations Director for guidance.
