Frequently Asked Questions


  • What are the rules for the College Showcase Events?

    The rules for the event can be found at here

  • What is Stay-to-Play?

    Stay to Play is a tournament housing method that allows teams to receive the best available hotel benefits and ensures all teams receive the protections NCFC Youth and TTS have established with the hotels. TTS pre-secures room blocks at the closest available hotels to the fields and negotiates the lowest rates and best amenities for teams. TTS always selects properties with the team's best interest in mind.


    More information can be found here: Stay to Play Policy

  • I am coaching more than one team during the tournament so can you handle scheduling conflicts?

    Yes, we can handle scheduling conflicts for Showcase teams. We cannot guarantee we can avoid all conflicts, but we will do our best.

  • When is check-in for the tournament?

    Team check-in will be online check-in ONLY and must be completed by the deadline date listed on the tournament home page. The process cannot be started until your team is accepted.


    **PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEADLINE TO ADD GUEST PLAYERS TO YOUR ROSTER IS THE SAME AS THE ONLINE CHECK-IN DEADLINE. GUEST PLAYERS CANNOT BE ADDED AFTER THE ONLINE CHECK-IN DEADLINE. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY.**

  • Can we mix USYS cards or medicals with US Club cards and medicals?

    No. You must register as a USYS team or US Club team. Guest players must match the teams affiliation.

  • Do we need a Notification to Travel Form?

    Yes. Any USYS team from outside North Carolina will need to upload their Notification to Travel form during the online check-in process. US Club teams do not need to provide a Notification to Travel Form.

  • Can I bring my pets to the fields?

    No pets (e.g., dogs, cats, or other leashed animal) are allowed at any NCFC Youth owned or operated facility used for practices, games, and/or tournaments (except for a documented service animal). This includes parking lots, sidelines, walking paths, shelters/pavilions, or anywhere else on premises.


    This policy is in place to ensure the safety of our players, families, and visitors. Animal control experts agree that even the most well-mannered and “family friendly” pets struggle in this unfamiliar setting to manage their instinctual behaviors.


    Referees will help enforce this policy on game days by delaying games until animals are removed from fields, even if this involves asking an individual to leave a facility. We ask that all of you take ownership of this policy to help us protect your children and families.

  • Can my team use buses and RVs for the event?

    Buses are able to drop players using the Bus Dropoff Area located at P5, but they will not be able to remain on site during the day. Ample parking is available at Triangle Town Center a few minutes away. RVs are not permitted to be stationed on-site.

  • Do you have a letter for my players school?
