The Virginia Club Champions League was founded in January 1997 for boys teams U-11 through U-18/19. Play began in the Fall of 1997. In June 2000 girls teams were added with play beginning in the Fall 2000 season. Beginning with the Fall 2005 season, VCCL adopted eight-a-side play for all U-11 teams.

PROFESSIONAL, HASSLE-FREE MANAGEMENT:

The VCCL is managed by a Board of Directors made up of the Directors of Coaching from among its members clubs: SOCA, Beach FC, FC Richmond, Richmond Kickers, Richmond Strikers, Roanoke Star, VA Rush and VA Legacy. The Board has three scheduled meetings: at the end of each season, and at its annual meeting at the National Soccer Coaches Convention in January.

UNIQUE SCHEDULING:

Unique to the Champions League is the coordinated traveling schedule. Each club's entire contingent of teams travels together to all away games. Start times are staggered allowing coaching directors and multiplayer parents to watch several games. The compact schedule also provides each club with greater flexibility in scheduling tournaments and friendly games during the regular season.

COMPETITION FOR AGE GROUPS U-11 THROUGH U-18/19:

Competitive play is offered for both boys and girls divisions U-11 through U-18/19. A developmental non-competitive division is offered for U-10 boys and girls. Divisional winners are recognized at the end of each season. Standings are determined by weekly competition: three points for wins, one point for ties; and no points for losses.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP:

At the end of each season, an overall club champion is determined based on standings in each of the boys' and girls' age groups: twelve points for first place, eight points for second place, six points for third place; four points for fourth place; two for fifth place and no points for sixth place. The winning club retains the traveling trophy until the end of the next season.

LEAGUE SELECT TEAMS:

Each year the Board of Directors names a boys and girls U-14 select team from its member clubs. The first Champions League Select U-14 boys team was named to represent VCCL in the 1998 Dallas Cup.

A Champions League Select U-14 girls team was first named to represent VCCL in the 2003 Spring Classic Girls Invitational Soccer Tournament held in conjunction with the Dallas Cup.

VCCL COLLEGE SHOWCASE (Boys & Girls):

Annual Virginia Club Champions League (VCCL) College Showcase is held in late November or early December. Hosted by the VA Legacy, the VCCL Showcase is a top level soccer event for college coaches to view players in the U16, U17 and U19 age groups for girls and U17 and U19 for boys.
