U13-U19 Boys

National Premier Leagues

Tryouts for CSA competitive programs begin soon! More information and registration are available on our Tryouts Page!

The National Premier Leagues (NPL) Program for boys U13 through U19 is the next level of competitive soccer above USYS and is the top-tier competitive level based in the York/Palisades area and the Uptown/Matthews areas. The NPL program provides an advanced level of training and consistently competitive games to maximize player development. Each section’s top 11U & 12U USYS boys teams are developmental teams for the NPL program.

Our NPL teams participate in the South Atlantic Premier League East which is made up of teams from North and South Carolina. Palisades/York U15 – U19 will have a fall NPL season only to allow them to participate on high school teams; all other teams, including 15U-19U Uptown Matthews NPL teams will play both fall and spring NPL seasons. NPL teams train three times per week at fields in their section.
