Team Structures
Three tiers. Every athlete welcome. For the 2026–2027 club season, NSSC offers Nike National, Black Regional, and White Local teams across age groups 10U–18U. Athletes try out for their preferred (highest) level — if a spot isn’t available there, they may be placed on a lower-level team when one is offered. Most placements are made at tryouts.
