About the Club
NCFC Youth is a prominent youth soccer organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving the expansive Research Triangle and Wake County areas. Established in 1974 as Capital Area Soccer League (CASL), the club merged in 2017 to form NCFC Youth, becoming the largest youth-to-professional soccer club in the United States. It provides comprehensive programming for nearly 17,000 youth players annually, ranging from recreational to elite competitive levels for ages 2.5 to 19. A key distinguishing feature is its robust player pathway, which consistently develops athletes for collegiate play across NCAA Divisions I, II, and III. NCFC Youth hosts significant events, including the annual visitRaleigh.com Showcase Series, attracting over 1,600 teams and 500 college coaches. The club's top competitive programs include teams participating in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) for both boys and girls, and the National Premier Leagues (NPL). NCFC Youth is committed to fostering a high-quality soccer environment and serves as a valuable community partner within the broader North Carolina FC family, which includes professional soccer teams.
