High School Prep is for 15U-19U players that want a competitive Division B environment that prepares them technically, tactically, physically, and mentally for High School soccer.  

The High School Prep program provides an environment with reduced commitments in time, travel, and expense that still allows players to develop in NASC's professional curriculum and with our licensed coaches. The program structure maintains a focus on the foundations necessary to play and succeed at the High School level. While there are fewer games and training sessions than the Division A teams, the intensity level and quality of game play remains at the highest level.

Teams practice 2 times per week with licensed coaches that are overseen by the full-time Directors of Coaching. Teams will play 6-8 regular season games and have the opportunity to attend 1-3 tournaments per season.

The National Premier Leagues (NPL) provides our female players with a national league and an elite competition platform created to develop the best soccer players. The NPL is the highest level of competitive soccer available to female youth players in North Alabama! Players no longer have to travel outside of North Alabama to access a top-tier competitive league!

The NPL consists of 18 regional leagues/conferences across the U.S. Regional champions advance to the U.S. Division Playoff (East and West) with Division Champions advancing to the National Championship. 

The NPL is a huge step forward for NASC's girls program. It further enhances our player development pathway, provides a future pathway to higher level competition, access to regional and national showcases, and is a collegiate identification platform.

NASC plays in the NPL's South Atlantic Premier League (SAPL) against regional teams in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Teams will play 10-12 regular season games against their division rivals and attend an end of season playoff and showcase where all league teams participate.
