PLAYERS IN THE WPSL

The great variety of highly skilled players is what makes the WPSL truly successful. WPSL teams roster college, post-college, foreign players and talented high school players every year. Many college programs encourage their players to play in the summer league because they believe it helps them prepare for the upcoming season. These players gain tremendous experience playing alongside other dedicated, competitive players, some of whom are former professional soccer players and others whom are aspiring to become professionals on or off the field.

During the last eight years, hundreds of players have spent their summer breaks playing on WPSL teams. Most come from highly regarded collegiate programs such as: Santa Clara, Portland, Notre Dame, North Carolina, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCONN, Penn State, Princeton, Harvard, CSU, UMASS, USF, UOP, BYU, San Jose State, Stanford, San Diego State, Arizona State, Texas A&M, Denver University, UC Davis, U of New Hampshire, St. Mary’s and North Carolina State.

Collegiate programs have utilized the league to improve their player’s development and sustain their fitness over the summer months. Highly competitive youth clubs have also use the league to expose their players to teams that carry players from every level – national, collegiate, post-collegiate and youth – and they then carry the experience they’ve gained, individually and as a team, into their local league competition in the fall and spring.
