The Strikers Division is NWAL’s most competitive level for youth players. Teams range in age from U11 to U19. Strikers teams are trained by licensed coaches at multiple practices per week. The teams compete in state, regional, and premier leagues. Most games are played within tournaments around the region. All Strikers teams compete in the Arkansas President’s Cup (U11-U13) or the Arkansas State Cup (U14-U19) for the state title. Winning this tournament advances the team to the Region III tournament, matching them against winners from other states and ODP leagues.
