National Club Championship

History:

• The first NCC took place in 2011 and was launched where acceptance into the event was based on a first come, first serve basis. For the 2012 event and onward, club teams needed to compete in a Regional Championship in order to earn a spot at the National Club Championship.
• In 2011, there was the U-17 Girls and U-19 Girls division which each consisted of eight pools.
• In 2012, a U-14 Girls division was added and the U-17 Girls division changed to the U-16 Girls division.
• In 2015, National Club Challenge was held in Virginia Beach, Va. for the U-14 Girls, U-16 Girls and U- Girls. Designed to complement the National Club Championship, the National Club Challenge challenged eight teams in each division that either finished third or fourth at the Regional Club Championships.
• In 2020, this event did not take place due to COVID-19.
• In 2023, each age division expanded from 16 teams to 24 with play-in teams.
• In 2024, a new new pool play format was debuted. All teams began competition at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center and had a chance to compete for the national title. The second day of competition kicksed off crossover matchups at both locations with the third day of play featuring all final placement games.
