UPSL ACADEMY
Now the UPSL is adding an Academy pathway which is creating new opportunities for clubs, their coaches and their players to be part of an established national brand and network, one which is professionally operated, enforces high standards, and provides extensive marketing.
Most importantly, the UPSL Academy framework will not allow any club territorial rights, will not impose unnecessary
club size requirements, will limit travel needs and will be affordable.
The Academy Division is operating U17, U15 and U13 age groups. Both fall and spring seasons will be available. They will
be supplemented with shorter summer league programs and Regional Cup competitions. Employing maximum flexibility,
the calendar will cater to the needs specific to each region and conference, and take high school commitments into
account. The emphasis will be on player development and the playing year will climax with recruiting combines. The very
first east coast and west coast regionals were just held in Georgia and California. In the Summer of 2025, two regional
(East & West) championship tournaments have been taken place featuring the top teams in each age group (U13, U15, &
U17) representing their respective conferences as a mean to both determine the best academy teams within the league
along with an opportunity to showcase individual player talent
