National Academy League

The National Academy League provides clubs with the ability to attend a NAL National Event that coincides with the IMG Cup College Showcase.
The National Academy League also provides a postseason structure that rewards the top teams in the nation, with the opportunity to compete for a National Academy League National Championship.

The National Academy League (NAL) is a youth soccer competition platform with the mission of providing world class training, development, education, and competition opportunities for select soccer clubs in the United States.

The National Academy League (NAL) was established to enhance the daily environment for male student-athletes by means of a club-based development platform. By specifically emphasizing top-tier competition, robust player identification opportunities, and a national playoff structure, the National Academy League will provide a national platform that allows student-athletes to increase visibility at the NCAA level, while competing at the highest level domestically.
