About Elite 64 National League and E64 Playoffs
The Elite 64 National League, administered by United States Youth Soccer, establishes a club-based national platform for top youth clubs in the country, with league play for both boys and girls teams in the U13-U19 groups.
The Elite 64 Playoffs feature three pools (Champions, Silver, Wildcard). Teams are placed into the pools based on their performance in the Elite 64 competition from the previous season, and all teams play a minimum of three games over three days. Games are primarily scheduled in a tournament/bracket format. The Champions pool offers teams the highest likelihood of advancing to the next stage of national competitions — National League P.R.O. Silver pool teams have the next highest odds of advancing, followed by Wildcard pool teams.
With one or more qualifying spots for each pool, every team attending the Elite 64 Playoffs enters with a chance to advance to National League P.R.O., where teams have the opportunity to then compete towards advancing to the most prestigious national youth soccer tournament, the USYS National Championship Series.
