National League heads into final weekend

• by Soccer America , Mar 14, 2013

[U.S. YOUTH SOCCER] The U.S. Youth Soccer National League's 2012-2013 season will conclude this weekend at the Bettye Wilson and Kellog Zaher Soccer Complexes in Las Vegas, alongside the Player’s College Showcase. Eleven of 16 division titles are still up for grabs.

Half of the field in each of the four boys and girls age groups finished play at the start of the year. Each division will be represented by four of the eight teams in Las Vegas.

For the first time four teams -- top two from each division -- from each age group will advance to the National Championships this summer in Overland Park, Kan. Heading into the final weekend, half of the 32 slots to the National Championships have yet to be claimed.
