2011 Season Informaton

For 2013, The Southern California National Premier League (SoCalNPL) will not only be accepting applications from existing CSL Clubs but also from individual CSL Premier level teams as well as qualifying Clubs/Teams from other Western States.

By widening the scope of participating teams to include teams from smaller clubs, we expect the standard of play to be even broader than it was this past year.

The Southern California National Premier League is a member of the US Club Soccer National Premier Leagues. The National Premier Leagues (NPL) offer a platform for long-term player development by providing consistent and meaningful games between the region’s top players and also provides opportunities for players to be scouted by U.S. Soccer national staff. Winners of each league within the NPL will qualify for US Club Soccer’s National Premier Leagues Champions Cup.  More information about the National Premier Leagues can be found on the NPL website at nationalpremierleagues.com. 

Also beginning in Spring 2013, The SoCalNPL will be hosting its inaugural season for girls’ clubs and teams. With the addition of the girls’ side, the SoCalNPL is now providing a complete and unified national developmental platform with the highest level of competition in its geographic area designed to elevate and change the competitive youth soccer landscape based upon US Club Soccer’s fundamental principles.

The founding members of the SoCalNPL for the boys’ are Albion SC, Carlsbad Elite, DMS 11, Fullerton Rangers, La Premier, Heat FC and Las Vegas SA.

In addition to these core clubs, other select teams and clubs will now be invited to participate for the 2013 season.

Acceptance of these teams and/or clubs will be based upon the following criteria:

1. History of Elite Youth Player Development;

2. History of Success in Elite Competitions Tournaments and Leagues;

3. Coaching Staff – Level of the Club’s Technical Staff, coaching education;

4. Overall positive club reputation within the Soccer Community.
