The USYS National League is excited to announce the players who have earned recognition as members of the Elite 64 Best XI, powered by ProScore, for the 2022-23 season. The Elite 64 Best XI teams feature the top performers in the 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U and 19U age groups for boys and girls.
Among all girls clubs, Chicago Inter led the way with seven players selected to Best XI teams, while Las Vegas Surf and Lobos Rush followed with five players each.
On the boys’ side, Cedar Stars Academy North and Sparta United each saw eight players chosen for Best XI teams — tied for the most of all boys clubs. Players Development Academy and Toca FC followed with five selections each.
“This recognition highlights consistent high-level play throughout the course of the season in all areas of the game,” said Simon Collins, USYS National League Commissioner. “We congratulate all of the selected players, along with their teammates and coaches, who worked hard to earn this honor, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for these talented young athletes.”
