“The New York Tri-State area has numerous competitive clubs that are developing players and the NPL is a great platform that will showcase these quality organizations,” said World Class FC Director of Coaching Vincent Sileo. “One of our core missions is to develop our players to play at the highest level so that we can give them the opportunity to play on a national stage.”
With the addition of the NYCSL NPL Division, the NPL now includes 12 leagues across the United States:

  • Florida Premier League

ABOUT THE NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUES:

US Club Soccer’s National Premier Leagues have been created to provide a national competitive developmental platform:
 
  • focused on long-term player development;
     
  • for the country’s top soccer clubs, allowing consistent, meaningful high-level games appropriately scheduled with higher training-to-game ratios;
     
  • that allows players to be scouted and evaluated by U.S. Soccer National Staff and Technical Advisors;
     
  • that is designed and structured by the clubs, based on the needs of the clubs;
  • using international rules of competition;
  • that provides an avenue for qualification for the NPL Champions Cup.
The NPL is an important component of US Club Soccer’s 10-year vision to refine the landscape for competitive youth soccer. This vision recognizes that:
  • properly-structured youth soccer clubs are the vehicle through which player development does and must occur in the United States.
  • clubs should play in leagues that provide meaningful games, allow establishment of the proper training-to-game ratio, and eliminate calendar congestion.
  • National Premier Leagues, as well as the best clubs, should be integrated in US Club Soccer’s id2 National Identification and Development Program, include Player Development Programs (PDPs) in select local markets, and work closely with U.S. Soccer staff regarding player identification, and player and coach development.

The 2011-12 season will kick off in September and all the latest news and updates from each NPL can be found on nationalpremierleagues.com, the official NPL website, which was launched last week.

A complete presentation on the vision, structure and future of the National Premier Leagues can be found on the NPL website. This presentation also includes an overview of the Player Development Programs created for each National Premier League.
 

ABOUT THE NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUES:
 
By providing consistent and meaningful games between an area’s top players, while reducing the total number of games, and also providing opportunities for players to be scouted by U.S. Soccer staff, the NPL offers a unique and improved platform for long-term player development. Most importantly, every NPL is led by a Technical Advisory Committee consisting of the Directors of Coaching from each member club.
 
Every NPL will include an integrated Player Development Program within US Club Soccer’s id2 Program to provide additional exposure and development opportunities for the top players within the NPL.
 
The NPL is an important component of US Club Soccer’s 10-year vision to refine the landscape for competitive youth soccer. This vision recognizes that:
 
  • Properly-structured youth soccer clubs are the vehicle through which player development does and must occur in the United States.
  • Clubs should play in leagues that provide meaningful games, allow establishment of the proper training-to-game ratio, and eliminate calendar congestion.
  • Each National Premier Leagues should be integrated into US Club Soccer’s id2 national identification and development program, include Player Development Programs, and provide avenues to improve player, coach and club development.
