Verified Titan Stats & Certifications
Prove your performance with official, stat-based certifications that validate athlete skills and achievements.
PROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE. EARN YOUR PLACE.
A standardized athlete performance testing and certification program created by the National Local Sports Association USA.
Athletes deserve an opportunity to demonstrate what they can do through measurable performance — not simply reputation, popularity, connections, or who happens to be watching.
NLSA USA is building a sports environment where athletes can test their abilities, establish verified performance results, improve over time, compete, and build a record of achievement.

NLSA USA is developing its performance and competition ecosystem around:
BASKETBALL
FOOTBALL
BASEBALL
SOCCER
HOCKEY
Program and event availability may vary by sport, location and stage of development.
LET PERFORMANCE SPEAK.
Talent exists everywhere. Opportunity does not. Many athletes never receive the same exposure, evaluation, resources, or connections as others.
NLSA CHALLENGE™ is designed to provide athletes with another way to establish what they can do through standardized performance testing and verified results.
THE STANDARD DOESN'T KNOW YOUR NAME. IT MEASURES WHAT YOU DO.
YOUR PERFORMANCE. MEASURED.

NO TEAM? YOU CAN STILL TAKE THE CHALLENGE.
Eligible athletes do not need to belong to an NLSA USA Affiliate Team to participate in applicable NLSA Challenge™ events.
Whether you compete for a school, club, recreational team, independent organization, another sports program — or are currently between teams — the Challenge is designed around your individual performance.
YOUR PERFORMANCE BELONGS TO YOU.
COMPETE. PERFORM. ADVANCE.
Performance testing tells us what an athlete can do. Competition shows what athletes and teams can do together.
NLSA USA Tournaments are being developed to provide organized competitive opportunities for eligible teams and athletes. Tournament opportunities may include Youth and Open Division competition depending on the event.
Selected Open Division events may include an announced NLSA USA CHAMPIONSHIP PURSE. Any Championship Purse will be specific to the individual event and subject to its published eligibility requirements, rules and conditions.
