List of USASA affiliated leagues

The United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) is a national organization and sanctioning body for amateur soccer in the United States. It consists of 54 state organizations as well as regional and national leagues.The Premier Development League and the National Premier Soccer League are USASA-affiliated, designed to promote a higher lever of competition than the state organizations. USASA also affiliates the Women's Premier Soccer League, one of the top women's leagues in the nation. USASA has over 250,000 adult members within its leagues and teams.

Representing the fifth division and below, there are numerous adult leagues that are directly run and affiliated with the USASA. These leagues are mostly independent of each other, and the division rankings cannot be reliably compared between state or local organizations. There are affiliated leagues and national leagues, in which the national leagues are seen as the fifth tier, while the affiliated leagues could technically be seen as the sixth tier.

Elite amateur leagues

There are independently run amateur leagues recognized by the United States Soccer Federation through an affiliation with the USASA, but which are considered to be independent leagues competing at a higher level than other USASA-affiliated amateur leagues.[1]
