Expansion in works for National Championships

• by Soccer America , Jun 21, 2012

[U.S. YOUTH SOCCER] U.S. Youth Soccer will add an under-13 division at the 2013 National Championships, which will be held in Overland Park, Kan., and add two more qualifiers from the National League in the under-15 through under-17 age groups.

All four of the regional championships include under-13 teams, with Region III adding in the age group in 2012.
 
Previously, only two spots in the National Championships were available to National League teams that did not qualify for the National Championships through their respective regional tournaments.
