CHALLENGE

Program Information

The Challenge League is for our recreation-level players who love the game of soccer but also hope to play more often than the recreation program provides.


Teams are formed and train in the Greensboro, Bermuda Run, and Danville, VA regions. During registration, you select the location that is closest to your home.

Challenge Program Details:

  • For players in the 11U-14U age groups (born in 2010-2013)
  • Players MUST be registered to participate in the NC Fusion or Southside (Danville, VA) Recreation program, see the link below to complete the recreation registration.
  • Train 2 times per week.  1 session is with your recreation team, and 1 session will be with the Challenge program.  Historically,  training sessions have been held on Friday evenings.
  • Greensboro training sessions will be held at Proehlific Park.  Winston Salem training sessions will be held at Truist Sports Park or Thomas Jefferson Middle School.
  • In addition to the 7 recreation games, Challenge players will participate in 6 additional games, scheduled on 3 Sunday afternoons.
