U13-U19 Girls
Development Player League
The Development Player League (DPL) is the next level of competitive soccer above USYS, and is the top-tier competitive level offered in the York/Palisades area section of the club for girls U13 through U19. The DPL program provides an advanced level of training and consistently competitive games to maximize player development. The York and Palisades Sections’ top 11U & 12U USYS girls teams are developmental teams for the NPL program.
Our DPL teams participate in the Southeast Division which will be made up of teams from North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia. U13 and U14 teams will have a fall and spring season; U15 – U19 will have a fall ECNL season only to allow them to participate on high school teams.
