EKS status
EKS U16 qualification is not decided yet. It depends on the final fall standings, and EKS U16 still has N1 games on Nov 1, Nov 7 and Nov 22. We'll update this page as soon as the standings are final.
The first District 2 Championships of the new National 1 League (N1). Semifinals and finals over one weekend for the boys U15–U19 divisions. The top teams from the fall standings qualify.
The National 1 League is the top team-based competition in US Club Soccer and US Youth Soccer, connected to the ECNL. Mid-Atlantic District 2 is run by NCSL with VPSL, and 2026–27 is its first season.
Teams play in North and South divisions to keep travel short. The fall season has about 8 games per team; for U15 and older it is the qualifying season for these championships.
Boys U15–U19: Saturday December 5 and Sunday December 6, 2026, at Embrey Mill Park, Stafford, VA. Semifinals and finals are played over the weekend.
Girls U15–U19 play December 12–13 at Glover Park, Richmond.
Game times, roster requirements and event information will be announced by NCSL. We'll add them here and to the team schedule.
The top two teams from the North and from the South qualify in each age group, based on the final fall standings.
Semifinals: North #1 vs South #2, and South #1 vs North #2. The final is between the semifinal winners.
Divisions with several brackets (U15 Boys North, U16 Boys North and U15 Boys South) send each bracket winner, seeded by points per game. EKS U16 plays in U16 Boys North.
District 2 champions go to the ECNL Conference League Playoffs in Greensboro, NC, in summer 2027, against top teams from across the country.
EKS families get team times, travel details and reminders from their team before the event.
