About US Club Soccer Leagues:

As a result of the considerable interest expressed in US Club Soccer playing a more direct role in league development, the organization announced in September 2008 that it would begin selectively administering its own regional leagues. These regional leagues are not necessarily specific to the four USSF regions, as they are based on smaller geographic regions.

The Northeast Pre-Academy League, with U-14 and U-15 boys' divisions, is geared towards preparing teams for the U.S. Soccer Development Academy at the U-16 and U-18 age groups. The 12-team league features well-known member clubs in seven states, all but one of which are current members of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. The league kicked off in February 2009 and will run through July 2009.

 The Southeast Regional League features U-13, U-15 and U-17 boys' and girls' divisions. The league, which features a North and South division, will begin play in May 2009 and run through the summer.
