EDP, one of the country’s largest leagues with over 3,500 teams located on the east coast of the United States, has entered into a long-term agreement with US Youth Soccer to manage four National League conferences in the East Region starting in 2018-19.

These conferences are:

• US Youth Soccer National League New England EDP Conference
• US Youth Soccer National League North Atlantic EDP Conference
• US Youth Soccer National League Mid Atlantic EDP Conference
• US Youth Soccer National League South Atlantic EDP Conference

In addition to managing these conferences, EDP will see its league play, tournaments and college showcases sanctioned by US Youth Soccer. 

Beginning in the fall of 2018, these US Youth Soccer National League EDP Conferences will offer an expected two tiers of divisions in addition to the existing EDP programming. Both EDP and new to EDP teams will be eligible to apply for these divisions with top teams advancing directly into the US Youth Soccer National League and the Regional Championships in the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series (NCS).
