“TSF Academy have been part of EDP since its inception and continue to believe in its core mission, which is to provide opportunities and pathways to players. We, as a club, are always looking to create the best possible training environments, and platforms for our families. We look forward to continuing to build this with EDP at a variety of levels.”
– Lee Bakewell, TSF Academy, Boys Director of Coaching
“Last year, we made a commitment to go all-in with the National League EDP Conference structure. The great part about the EDP and US Youth Soccer National League alliance is that it provides our teams with the best of two game formats. For all of our teams participating in National League EDP Conference play, we get meaningful matches week-in and week-out without having to travel half way across the country. There are several pathways under the new EDP National League Conference structure to earn an opportunity to play in the US Youth Soccer National League. But, probably the most satisfying path is to earn it through performance in National League play—it means you’ve been there and you’ve earned your way back.”
– Greg Wiesmore, SJEB Rush, Executive Director
“Legacy & FC Berna have been playing in EDP since inception and the overall quality of teams has provided our players great competitive games on a consistent basis. We are excited to have the National League a an option for our players and to see a true pathway to the top. Looking forward to the continued relationship between our club and EDP.”
– Jim Buchanan, Legacy Premier, Director of Soccer Operations
