North Carolina FC Youth (NCFC Youth) is an American soccer club and eponymous league based in Raleigh, North Carolina, and serving the greater Research Triangle. It is the largest youth-to-professional soccer club in the country.[1]

NCFC Youth was founded as Capital Area Soccer League (CASL) in 1974 as a not-for-profit organization and provides recreational and competitive programs for youth in the greater Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metropolitan area. NCFC Youth offers teams in all divisions of North Carolina youth soccer including "classic" (first tier competitive teams in US regional and statewide leagues), "challenge" (second tier competitive teams locally), and recreational soccer. NCFC Youth "classic" teams compete at the highest level of competition in the nation including Elite Clubs National League, Region III Premier League, and U.S. Soccer Development Academy in partnership with the North Carolina FC. They utilize venues throughout the area including WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, and the WRAL Soccer Center in Raleigh.
