Boys Premier
Total Player Pathway: Phase 4
Our Boys Premier Program primarily plays in the United States Youth Soccer (USYS) and National Premier League (NPL) leagues which include Regional and possibly Nationals events. Its role in the Total Player Pathway is to serve developing players for higher levels before graduating high school. Traveling is usually closer to home than the ECNL program but is still at a level that can be competitive and has the opportunity to further one’s development. These leagues also require teams to qualify to participate in them and are for teams playing 11v11 and/or U13-U19. Players must tryout to play at this level and then they are placed on the appropriate level team based on their abilities.
The NISL and CIYSL serve as great local leagues with minimal traveling involved. It serves as our pathway to IYSA State Cup and USYS Midwest Regional/National League.
Benefits
Our Boys Premier program is an all-service system that meets the needs of all levels of players from under 13 years to under 19 years old. Designed to create a competitive environment for players to continue to develop their playing abilities and understanding the game. Our variety of locations allows us to find a home for most players in the greater Chicagoland area. We are able to offer more accurate team placement options, and greater experiences, due to the number of teams we have per age and additional events we play in.
