July 30, 2011 (Phoenix, AZ) - Live scoring updates from the 2011 US Youth Soccer National Championships, being held in Phoenix, Arizona from July 27-31. Preliminary matches took place from Wednesday through Friday, with each team in each age bracket playing three matches. Championship matches occur on Saturday night, July 30 and Sunday morning, July 31. The BU14 Fullerton Rangers and the BU16 Albion White are the last remaining Cal South teams in the tournament, both reaching the championship final matches in their brackets.

Cal South had six teams taking part in the 2011 National Championships. Five of Cal South's teams earned their spots by winning titles last month at the 2011 US Youth Soccer Far West Regionals in Boise, Idaho. The sixth team, the BU16 Albion White, earned their spot via their success at this year's US Youth Soccer National League season. Cal South won 8 of the 16 titles overall at the Far West Regionals this year, but three of those titles were in the U12 and U13 brackets. Only teams in the U14 and up brackets move to the National Championships event.

Cal South has won 31 National Championship titles in this event since 2001 (47 overall since they first had a team win in 1986), the most of any US Youth Soccer State Association in that span. Three Cal South teams won National Championships in last year's competition. To see the past Cal South champions at this event, enter the Cal South Archives by clicking here.
