Across the five age groups, the U10-U14 Girls Weekend will feature a total of 47 divisions, including an array of small-sided 7v7, 8v8 and 9v9 options among the younger ages. The U-12 age group in particular encompasses 12 divisions, with multiple brackets for various levels of 11v11, 9v9 and 8v8 competition.

The U-13 and U-14 brackets will see some of the highest levels of cross-league competition that will take place anywhere in the country this year in these age groups, as some of the most accomplished ECNL and Pre-ECNL sides go up against top teams representing US Youth Soccer and US Club Soccer’s most challenging regional leagues, as well as the US Youth Soccer National League.

As part of an ongoing partnership between the Jefferson Cup and US Club Soccer, some 200 teams representing NPLs around the country will compete in the event. There are more than 20 NPL member leagues spread throughout the country, each hosting some of the top competition in their respective regions. Once again, this year’s Jefferson Cup will play host to a wide list of reigning state, regional and national champions of the NPL Finals and US Club Soccer National Cup.
