Playing Levels

The Virginia Legacy Soccer Club will provide teams in 2 areas/communities across the Peninsula in 2023/24. The top players in each age group across all communities will come together to make up the Legacy Elite team at the U11-U19 age groups for boys. These Elite teams will participate in the ECNL Regional League at U11 and U12 and will play in the newly formed Virginia NPL for U13-19.  For the next level of players at the U11-U19 age groups - we will combine the next best players while trying to maintain a certain community "home base" based on the rosters and coaches. These teams will also play in the Virginia NPL - but may play in lower divisions within the league.  These teams will be placed in divisions appropriate for their development regardless of the team name.

See Below for more descriptions of Legacy Elite (ECNL Regional League) and the VPSL - NPL (Virginia Premier Soccer League)

At U9/10 - all players are suggested to play in their home communities and not travel across - to limit travel for practices and games.

At U11 - U13 The Wizards boys teams are declared Peninsula or Williamsburg to provide help with training locations and logistics.  The U11-13 Elite teams are formed with players from all communities.

At U14 - U19 All teams are tiered.  Teams are called Elite, Wizards Green or Wizards Black. These teams will train across communities based on coaches and roster makeup.  Teams will be formed based on ability and they will play in the Virginia NPL
