About SCCL
The Southeastern Clubs Champions League (SCCL) is a high-quality and largest local platform in the state, providing an environment for both boys and girls to develop, compete, and grow locally. Top talent from our SCCL teams are given opportunities to compete and further their development in our NAL or DPL teams.
About NAL
The National Academy League (NAL) delivers high-level national competition and exposure in a player-first environment. It serves as a strong pathway for boys looking to develop, compete, and position themselves for opportunities at the next level, including MLS NEXT and collegiate soccer.
About DPL
