FCC's Academy Select and Academy Select HS programs are competitive programs designed to meet the needs of players that desire a challenging playing environment. There is one primary goal associated with our competitive program: to enable each of our players to achieve her or his individual goals with respect to soccer. Since we service a wide range of players in our competitive program, this means that we must offer appropriate levels of competition. FC Charleston are associate with the state leagues and place teams in the follow:

NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUE (NPL)  -- PIEDMONT LEAGUE CHALLENGE LEAGUE -- PRESIDENTS MEDAL SOCCER LEAGUE  -- OPEN LEAGUE 

There is a correlation between the type of team and the league in which that team plays. Our top teams are looking to progress through the leagues and compete in as high a league as possible. Teams competing in the National Premier League (NPL) compete to gain qualification to the NPL Finals and Elite National Premier League. Teams competing in the USYS or SCYSA leagues compete to progress through the leagues to ultimately compete in the National Leagues. To get there we must be promoted through the Piedmont league, where teams compete regionally. SCYSA Challenge teams are those in which the goal of the team is get promoted into Piedmont. SCYSA Presidents Medal and Open Soccer League are those in which the goal of the team more locally.
