ECNL Regional League through VPSL
The VPSL was founded in 2015, specifically for clubs with national programming, and became a licensed ECNL Girls Regional League in 2018 and the boys side was added to the ECNL Boys Regional League in 2021. It aims to provide a high level of competition and a professional, player-centric environment designed to enhance player development at all levels. With the goal to be at the forefront of player development, the league provides enhanced flexibility within age groups and playing opportunities for larger player pools while increasing competitiveness across the board. The VPSL features programming for ages U11-U19.
“Aligning VPSL with the ECNL Regional League is a major step toward successfully reaching our goals of providing the best opportunities for our players, improving the game day experience for our families, and further defining the pathway for deserving clubs in ‘the Proving Ground,’” said Mike Cullina, VPSL Board Member.
