About Us
WHO WE ARE
As of 2024, the California Premier League (CPL) will continue in its 18th season. We stay committed to development and training youth soccer players of Southern Orange County and sounding communities, continuing to grow strong with over 30 teams and over 400 members.
In our short time, our teams have achieved many accomplishments, winning several club ranked tournaments, with teams participating in both CSL & the SCDSL. We have had selected teams qualify for CRL & NPL Leagues. 98% of our players entering high school made their local high school team, and out of our previous graduating age groups, 95% of them are playing college soccer!
In 2021 we started our expansion program with our senior team playing in UPSL, SWPL, NISA Nation, successfully winning all 3 leagues. In 2023 we also entered into the USL2 league for our College players, and now as of 2024 our Senior team will play in NISA Pro, creating a true pathway to pro for this community.
The California Premier League is a very passionate and goal driven organization, with player development as our #1 goal. Our Club host three Cal South Sanctioned tournaments, participate in Spring & Summer leagues, host a Spring Futsal League, a Fall 4v4 Little Kickers (intro to soccer) community league, men's and women's amateur teams in the ULS League Two, NISA Nation, and most recently NISA Pro for those looking to play at the highest level.
It is our goal to have our organization recognized for developing skills and understanding of the game, playing with class and character both on and off the field.
