LEAGUE INFORMATION

MISSION STATEMENT

LEAGUE STRUCTURE

Our league structure consists of three separate and independent leagues that run simultaneously throughout the season.

​

THE EL PASO PREMIER LEAGUE: A "city wide" league designed to promote development and competition for the best teams in the city. This league is made up by all of our PREMIER DIVISIONS (U9-U19) and our 11v11 (U13-U19) CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISIONS. Teams in this league play games at both of our primary venues, the West and East Side Sports Complexes, throughout the season. 

​

EPPL WEST DIVISION: A league for younger and more developmental teams that want to compete primarily in their area of the city. This league is open to U5-U12 age groups in the CHAMPIONSHIP and RECREATIONAL divisions. The EPPL WEST DIVISION will play mainly at the West Side Sports Complex

​

EPPL EAST DIVISION: A league for younger and more developmental teams that want to compete primarily in their area of the city. This league is open to U5-U12 age groups in the CHAMPIONSHIP and RECREATIONAL divisions. The EPPL EAST DIVISION will play mainly at the East Side Sports Complex
