Dear USYS Membership,
With the current changing landscape, we wanted to send an update and reminder regarding the future of the US Youth Soccer National Championships and the US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup and the Olympic Development Program (ODP).
To be clear, both national competitions remain core to US Youth Soccer and will continue as planned.
This includes 2027, for which planning is already underway.
ODP will also play a critical role in player development in the future of soccer in the United States.
National 1 (N1) is focused on enhancing the league landscape and providing clearer pathways for teams. It does not replace or eliminate our national competitions. These events remain an important part of the overall pathway and experience for our players, teams, and families.
At the same time, we are exploring ways to elevate State Cups, National Championships, Presidents Cup, and ODP in future cycles in collaboration with U.S. Soccer.
We will continue to share updates as needed, but please be assured that National Championships, Presidents Cup, and ODP are moving forward as scheduled.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Tom Condone
CEO
US Youth Soccer
