On Thursday, the fourth annual USL Academy Cup will kick-off in Tampa. Fla.
One of the largest soccer competitions in the country, the four-day competition will be held through Sunday. The event will feature teams divided amongst three age groups -- U-13, U-15 and U-20 -- for both boys and girls.
Teams will compete in a round-robin group stage, where they will play against every other team in their group. After three days of group play, the top teams from each group will play the other top team in their division for the chance to be crowned champions. There are up to five divisions for each age -- Elite, Premier, Select, Legacy and Classic -- divided into two groups. Teams that do not qualify for the championship match are still guaranteed one more game on Sunday.
