SOCAL Soccer League, along with US Club Soccer and US Youth Soccer are excited to announce the National 1 League. This league will begin with the 2026 fall season and will become the top team based competition in the US.

In a landmark development for youth soccer nationally, US Club Soccer and US Youth Soccer have jointly announced the creation of National 1 League — a new unified, top-level team-based competition structure that will replace both the National Premier League (NPL) and the USYS National League. SOCAL is proud to have been named as the Operator within this new framework.

This initiative is part of U.S. Soccer’s Pathways Strategy, designed to make the game easier to navigate, more accessible, and more supportive for players and teams at every level.
 
Just a matter of time before MLS and GA create a youngers league for all their clubs.

Sigh...

I still dont understand whats in this for the youngers leagues. Theres no additional revenue and a potential loss of revenue.

The Girls Academy (GA) is proud to announce the launch of its U11–U12 platform, an exciting new initiative designed to expand access, create meaningful opportunities, and further strengthen the player development pathway for young female athletes.

Set to begin in the 2026–27 season, the platform represents a significant step forward in the Girls Academy’s continued commitment to building a comprehensive and intentional pathway, from the earliest stages of development through the U13–U19 levels and beyond.
