This week, the top Girls Academy teams in the country will head to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
That will be the site of the Champions Cup Finals. The annual competition will feature the age groups of U-13, U-14, U-15, U-16, U-17 and U-18/19. Games will begin on Thursday and will wrap up next Tuesday. All age groups will play four games across a five-day span.
Ahead of the 2021-22 season, Girls Academy launched a separate, aspirational competition to add additional quality competition for the most competitive clubs in the GA. Qualification is a reward for a consistent commitment to player development and overall success.
