FRISCO, Texas (Aug. 6, 2024) — The USYS National League is excited to announce the full collection of girls clubs that will be competing in Elite 64 for the 2024-25 season.

Elite 64 is the highest level of club-based league competition in the USYS National League. Each Elite 64 club fields teams in each of the 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U and 19U age groups.

On the girls’ side, the 2024-25 season will see Elite 64 feature clubs from 16 different USYS State Associations and include 28 returning clubs and 12 new clubs.

“We have a great group of clubs that have helped set a high bar for Elite 64, and the incoming group of new clubs will only help to raise the standard moving forward,” said National League General Manager Marc Frankland. “The girls clubs stretch from Florida to California to Alaska, and everyone brings a common goal to put the players first and give them the best environment possible to reach their goals.”

In addition to their regular season league schedule, all clubs in Elite 64 have access to the National League Quarterfinals, which provide the clubs with national events that offer teams opportunities for advancement that ultimately lead to the USYS National Championships, presented by New York Life.

In 2024 — the first year Elite 64 teams had a pathway to the National Championships — Elite 64 teams claimed five National titles.
