NPL TEAMS

The NPL is a national competition platform that was created to elevate and change the competitive youth soccer landscape by providing meaningful weekly competition culminating in the NPL Finals.

NPL provides a platform that is:

  • focused on long-term player development
  • for the country’s top soccer clubs, allowing consistent and meaningful high-level games that are appropriately scheduled with higher training-to-game ratios
  • integrated with the id² Program, which includes Player Development Programs (PDPs) in select local markets, and that works closely with U.S. Soccer staff regarding player identification, and player and coach development
  • providing an avenue for qualification for the NPL Finals and Elite National Premier League
