Player Pathway

TCSL provides meaningful competition at all levels of play.

All levels besides NPL are “self-select” with oversight from the Technical Advisory Panel. Clubs are responsible for placing their teams in the right environment. There is not promotion/relegation in TCSL; however, natural promotion and/or relegation occurs based on historical results that TCSL shares in advance of each season.
