Xtra Soccer Academy Accepted into National 1 League Platform
Omaha, Nebraska — Xtra Soccer Academy is proud to announce its acceptance into the newly formed National 1 League, a top team-based competition platform developed through the partnership of US Club Soccer and US Youth Soccer.
The inclusion of Xtra Soccer Academy into the National 1 League reflects the rapid and unprecedented growth of the club in a very short period. In just two years, the level of player within the Xtra environment has risen significantly, creating a clear need for a platform that can provide the appropriate level of competition and continued progression.
This growth is a direct reflection of the collective effort across the club. The commitment and belief shown by families, combined with the work and standards set by coaches and staff, has driven Xtra Soccer Academy to this point and continues to push the club forward.
Xtra Soccer Academy will compete in the Central Conference District 2, facing competition from across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. The National 1 League will provide a structured and competitive platform for players ready for increased levels of competition, while maintaining a sensible and balanced approach to travel and overall player experience.
“Our growth as a club over the past two years has been exceptional, and the level of player we are working with now requires a platform like this,” said Graeme Eaglesham, Club Director of Xtra Soccer Academy. “This is a huge credit to our families, our players, and the work being done every day by our coaches and staff. What we are building is a true collective effort, and this step reflects that.
This platform allows us to provide the right level of competition for players who are ready to be challenged further, without placing unnecessary demands on families through excessive travel. At the same time, our commitment remains the same across the entire club. We are focused on providing the right environment for every player’s stage of development and continuing to build a pathway that supports all players within Xtra Soccer Academy.”
Xtra Soccer Academy continues to build a comprehensive and ambitious player pathway, ensuring that players at all levels are supported while creating opportunities for those ready to compete at higher levels within the game.
