The aim of the National Premier League is to provide a national level league competition for those clubs seeking to develop motivated players for college soccer.

NPL “Academy” Clubs must provide coaches with high level credentials, commit to a year round competition, provide additional training hours per week, and college assistance programs for players striving to play in college or beyond.

The administrative and technical requirements are set higher for NPL Soccer Clubs, for they have committed to focus to develop players for college soccer.

While some wild card entries are accepted each year, the NPL competition is primarily comprised of designated NPL clubs who are guaranteed a spot to the 14 or 15 age groups every year. From this point on promotion and relegation is used to determine the divisions of play.

The National Premier League utilizes primarily regional divisions of play but concludes with a National Championship comprised of NPL winners from across the country.

NPL Club membership benefits include additional and early access to coaching courses, closer consultation in the annual planning and the ability to compete for an NPL National League Championship.
