U.S. Youth National League begins at Disney
FRISCO, Texas (Dec. 31, 2010) – The 2010-2011 US Youth Soccer National League Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 Girls resumed league play at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Soccer Complex in Orlando, Fla., today. Each division is represented by four of the league’s eight teams per division age group. This weekend of play will finalize league standings until the remaining four teams per division age group compete in Las Vegas, Nev., March 18-20.
Games are played in conjunction with the Disney Soccer Showcase creating another significant opportunity for the nation's collegiate, professional and national team coaches to see National League players in an environment of meaningful play.
The league is an extension of the highly successful US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues (US Youth Soccer Region I Premier League, Midwest Regional League, Region III Premier League and Far West Regional League). 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, National League teams compete for the league title and two slots per gender age group to the annual US Youth Soccer National Championships.
Some highlights from today’s matches…

Arsenal Elite (FL) took the 24th minute lead over BRYC 95 Elite (VA) when Brianna Rossi rebounded a missed free kick for the 1-0 lead. In the 60th minute, Adrienne Maday completed a penalty kick for the BRYC equalizer. The 1-1 knot remained through the end of regulation.
