Purpose
The Competitive leagues are for those players that want to play and train at a more competitive level. Training is run by well-qualified, licensed and highly trained coaches whose goal is to provide the best soccer environment possible. NELSA believes that players develop best when they are playing with and against players of like ability, with occasional challenges against a higher level of play.
To bring that about, NELSA organizes games against teams in multiple states beginning with the U11 age group. Â
Players who do not make a NELSA competitive team or who choose not to play at that level can register in the recreational program.Â
