The
National Premier Soccer League
(NPSL), is the
successor of the Men’s Premier Soccer League (MPSL)
which formed in 2002. In 2005, the league had been
recreated into an expanded national league to
accommodate teams from the Midwestern region, and in
2007 a Northeastern Region was added. In 2008, the
National Premier Soccer League has
become truly a national league with the addition of
a Southeastern region. Each team plays a minimum of
10 to a maximum of 16 regular season games. The
teams are comprised of players who play at the
highest levels of soccer available to men.
This highly
competitive league helps all the teams gain access
to elite players to fill their team roster,
including but not limited to National Team, former
and current University and College, foreign,
amateur, former professional and youth players. All
current NCAA players will be able to play soccer at
an elite level and continue to maintain their
eligibility, while incoming NCAA players can impress
college scouts and coaches alike.
The NPSL is sanctioned by the United States
Adult Soccer Association (USASA) as an affiliate of
the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the
ruling body for soccer in the United States and FIFA
the world’s ruling body for soccer. The NPSL
operates and is managed as a team run league. The
structure of the league will allow each
participating team to have one vote on the executive
committee. Each team is owned and operated
individually, and is responsible for maintaining
league minimum standards and for raising its own
operating cash. The existing team owners, that
comprise the league management team, approve all new
teams who desire to join the league.
