With the launch of the South Texas Youth Soccer Association (STYSA) State Classic League (SCL) in Fall 2009, SCL creates a new competitive league designed to give the top teams in the U14 through U18 age groups the highest possible level of competition. The State Classic League is owned and operated by STYSA. Participation in the SCL is governed by the rules adopted by the United States Soccer Federation (US Soccer), US Youth Soccer (USYS), Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and South Texas Youth Soccer Association (STYSA) rules except where modified.
