New Jersey Youth Soccer crowned its U12-U14 National Championship Series, U12-U14 Presidents Cup and U11-U14 Commissioners Cup champions over the weekend, with semifinal and championship matches being held in Bordentown, N.J.
“We are so proud of the effort from each and every one of the teams that competed in these state-wide tournaments,” said Evan Dabby, NJ Youth Soccer Executive Director. “New Jersey is one of the most talent rich states in the country and these competitions demonstrated that skill from the girls and boys teams.”
The U.S. Youth Soccer National Championship Series is the country’s most prestigious national youth soccer tournament, providing winners from each state the opportunity to showcase their soccer skills against the best competition in the nation while emphasizing teamwork, discipline and fair play.
The Presidents Cup is a national tournament that is designed to create a high-level competition for teams that are looking to play against teams of similar abilities, where those teams that advance will play for a regional or possibly a national title.
The Commissioners Cup is a tournament that was successfully introduced in 2017 and hosts travel teams in the U11 to U14 age groups in the fall, with the U15 and U16 age groups participating in the spring/summer. This state-only tournament is designed to create a challenging and enjoyable event for teams that do not play in the National Championship Series or Presidents Cup.
