Challenge:

The goal of the SYSL Challenge League is to provide an environment in which the level of competition, commitment, and player development falls between that of the Recreation and Classic Leagues.  All Challenge Coaches are required to go through coaching education and have a responsibility to develop the soccer skills and team play of their players.

By USYS and USSF standards, the NCYSA Challenge program is a competitive level of play, because tryouts are conducted to form teams.  Challenge teams travel throughout the state of North Carolina; however, travel is usually limited to a smaller radius than the Classic level.  The NCYSA Challenge program allows for players developing beyond the Recreational level to play at a more competitive level with modified travel time to and from games.

Development is accomplished through player and parent commitment to 2-3 days of training plus weekend matches and away tournaments.  Challenge coaches are encouraged to utilize all players in match competition based on player’s commitment level and player’s role on the team.  SYSL’s Challenge program is currently affiliated with the Mid-State Soccer League.

Club registration fees are $515 (full year) and $315 (one season) and includes coaching fees, uniforms, referees, NCYSA fees and Player Development Program (PDP).
