National 1 League (N1)
The National 1 League (N1) program is the second step on the CSA Player Development Pathway, one level above USYS Competitive. Teams are based in the Matthews/Uptown and North/Huntersville sections and bring together players from across the club who want to have fun, learn, and develop their soccer skills at a higher level. Top teams in 11U & 12U are the developmental teams for the National 1 League program.
13U-19U boys and girls teams participate in highly competitive environments where they can showcase their talent and get additional exposure for collegiate opportunities. All CSA N1 teams will participate in the Carolina Premier Soccer League (CPSL) against clubs across North Carolina and participate in showcases and/or post-season playoff events.
