Since 1994, the best of the best have competed in divisions I & II of the National Indoor Soccer Championship. The National Indoor Soccer Championship was founded to fulfill the need of teams wanting to play for something “big” in winter. They were tired of playing the same teams session after session and no opportunity to move to the next level beyond their local facility. Now teams play in more leagues and tournaments; increasing practice time in an effort to play in a regional tournament and advance to the national finals.
The National Indoor Soccer Championship consists of regional and national final tournaments. Regional tournaments serve the competitive soccer community with teams traveling from all states to compete in regional competition. National finals draw the best teams from all areas of North America.
In 2008, a relationship was formed between USIndoor (visit
www.usindoor.com) and the National Indoor Soccer Championship to enhance the reach of the only true national indoor competition. As these two vital organizations pool their efforts, there is an assurance of thrilling regional and national tournaments that will be the landmark of every competitive indoor team in the nation.
The National Indoor Soccer Championship runs regional championships in every region of North America. So, no matter where you are located, there will be a tournament near you to attend. The teams that participate in regionals will have an awesome opportunity to play against the nation's best in the national finals. The top teams in the USA, Canada & Mexico have competed in the championship each year. It is now far and away the largest and most prestigious youth and adult indoor tournament in the world. Many traditional powerhouse clubs compete each year. Included are just a few of the clubs that have previously won a National Indoor or Outdoor Soccer Championship. These include Vardar SC (MI), Michigan Wolves & Hawks SC (MI), Excalibur (OH), Central Penn Alliance (PA), Kansas City Legends SC (KS), South Shore Select (MA), Next Level Academy (NC), Cleveland Cobras (OH), Erie FC (OH), Lou Fusz (MO), Chicago Blast (IL), Team America (VA), and Midwest Wings (IL).
