USYS National Championships

Cincinnati United Soccer Club sent 5 CUP teams to Dallas, TX to compete in the USYS National Championships. 3 girls and 2 boys teams fought against the nation's best for a national title. The CUP U17/00 Gold girls won the club's first US Youth Soccer National Championship by beating last year's national champs, Midwest United, in penalty kicks. The CUP U15/02 Gold girls finished as national finalists. The U16/01 girls and boys teams both finished third in the country, while the U18/99 boys came in 6th. This was the best showing at the national championships for the club.

"We are so proud of these 5 teams for a great national championship week," said CUP Girls DOC Bobby Puppione. "To win a national title, have a national finalist, two teams finish in third, and one in sixth is an impressive accomplishment for our club. This is a testament to the club's commitment to the player development process."
