The North American Sand Soccer Championships (NASSC) is an annual beach soccer tournament held in Virginia Beach, Virginia, bringing together teams from across the United States and internationally. The event provides a platform for both amateur and professional beach soccer teams to compete at high levels in various divisions, including men's, women's, and youth categories.

A key component of the tournament is the U.S. Open Beach Soccer Championship, a competition that features top teams competing for national titles. The U.S. Open, which became part of the NASSC in 2001, serves as the premier event for beach soccer in the U.S., attracting international participation and offering cash prizes, as well as opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills on the national stage.
