UPSL Academy



Spartanburg United is excited to announce a new partnership with the United Premier Soccer League to offer a true “Pathway to the Pros” regional youth soccer program. 

Starting this fall Spartanburg United will offer UPSL Academy teams for boys and girls.  The UPSL Academy offers competitive regional and national games that are highly visible recruitment opportunities for professional clubs and colleges.

·       Anyone of the proper ages is eligible to play in the UPSL Academy regardless of youth club affiliation.

·       Players must try out separately for state teams and UPSL Academy teams.

·       SUSA will play in the UPSL Academy Mid-Atlantic Conference of North & South Carolina. 

·       Conference playoff winners advance to regional and national championships each season providing opportunities for players to be seen regionally and nationally.

·       Teams will practice one day per week in addition to their state teams during the season and play one game per weekend for most weeks of the season.

·       UPSL Academy teams will wear different kits than the state league teams.

·       State league games and UPSL games will be scheduled around each other.

·       The UPSL Academy will have tryouts each season, fall and spring, for boys and girls.

·        The divisions will be U17 (2009 & 2010), U15 (2011 & 2012), U13 (2013 & 2014).

·       The fall game season is Sept to November with playoffs in December – January.  The spring game season will be either March- June or May-June for different divisions with playoffs in June-July.

The UPSL Academy program is designed to play alongside the Club teams which currently play in state leagues as an additional higher level of competition. 

UPSL Academy fees will be similar to the fall state league fees but will have a discount for players who are playing on another SUSA team.

Fees will be available soon.




UPSL Academy Fall 2025 Season

Additional tryout sessions will be added between July 9-11.  Attendance will be required.  Tryouts will conclude by July 11.

Players need to attend as many tryout sessions as possible to get a fair evaluation for all the players.  Attending 1 session makes it difficult to be placed on a team.

Players may be offered a position at any time during the process.  Players are being considered for a position until they are notified otherwise.

Practices will begin in late July.  The first games are to be September 6/7 weekend.  Teams will play one game per weekend.

We will play in the Mid-Atlantic region consisting of SC & NC.  Possibility of Southern VA.

Player fees will be $675 for the season.  This includes all training fees, league fees, referee fees, coach fees, insurance, and administrative/facilities costs. For players already registered at Spartanburg United, any previously paid fees will be accounted for during the registration.

To create the best training environment, teams will consist of 15 fully rostered players and 5 additional pool players who will train with the team and are not guaranteed to play in all games.  They will be at all training and earn the opportunity to play in games as openings are available.  Their fee will be half of the regular fee.

Unique uniforms for the UPSL Academy will be purchased individually through Lloyd’s Soccer.  Kits will be approx. $150 and include a home, away, and a training jersey along with shorts and socks.
