2021 Spring Season
Main article: 2020–21 NISA season § Spring seasonNISA Legends Cup
NISA announced initial spring season plans in early February 2021, including starting the season with a tournament in Chattanooga, Tennessee with a standard regular season to follow. The tournament, now called the NISA Legends Cup, was officially announced on March 10 and is scheduled to run between April 13 and 25. All nine NISA members teams taking part in the Spring were divided into three team groups and played a round robin schedule. The highest placing group winner automatically qualified for the tournament final, while the second and third highest finishing teams overall played one-another in a semifinal to determine a second finalist.
The Stars were drawn into Group 1 alongside the debuting Maryland Bobcats FC and the returning San Diego 1904 FC.
