By U.S. Youth Soccer, U.S. Soccer, and the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association
standards, the NCYSA Challenge Program is a competitive level of play, because tryouts are conducted to form teams. Challenge teams travel throughout
the state of North Carolina; however, travel is usually limited to a smaller radius
than the Classic level. The NCYSA Challenge Program allows for players developing
beyond the Recreation Level to play at a more competitive level with modified travel
time to and from games. The Challenge Program is available for U10s to U19s.
All Challenge Teams must be a member of a currently registered association that is
in good standing with the NCYSA such as the Chatham Soccer League.
