USL - W League
The USL W League is a pre-professional women’s soccer league that began play in 2022. It's purpose is to serve as the nation’s premier pre-professional league developing the next generation of women’s soccer talent both on and off the field. Women in the USL W have the opportunity to retain their amateur status, and to continue playing in college, while also getting the exposure and feel for what a professional atmosphere may encompass.
For our Swan City players, this offers another path to explore play in the professional ranks. It also offers our community the chance to see some of the state's best talent compete.
The importance of investing in women and women’s soccer has never been greater. By providing more opportunities to play, work, and watch, we’re committed to growing the women’s game for all who love it.
