Burien, WA (June, 2014) — (press release) Highline Premier FC, the advanced
development program of the Highline Soccer Association is excited to announce its
formal affiliation with US Club Soccer and the Puget Sound Premier League (PSPL), the
fastest growing league for competitive teams in Washington State.
Highline Premier FC (HPFC) teams will join the
PSPL in force for the 2014-15 season, competing in
various divisions commensurate with each team’s
level of play. The affiliation with PSPL and US Club
Soccer offers several compelling benefits for our
soccer community. The PSPL’s platform of
competitive opportunities is numerous. It offers
league play based on promotion/relegation. Teams
are matched by ability level and then rise or fall
based on their competitive merit. Top teams can
qualify for the Northwest Champions League, the Pacific Coast Super Cup, the
Washington State Premier League, the National Premier League Champion’s Cup, and
the US Club Regionals. What’s more, the PSPL offers coaching education that includes
the popular annual Coaching Summit, new PSPL Academy teams for the league’s best
players, and the Washington Cup tournament – the US Club sanctioned state cup.
President Kevin Elicker explains; “Highline Premier training has always focused first on
individual player development. Highline Premier’s unique partnership with Coerver NW
speaks volumes to this commitment. Our shared aim is to facilitate technical skill
mastery while inspiring every player to become more confident and creative on the ball.
We believe that US Club Soccer and the PSPL are a great fit for our membership because
the affiliation removes barriers that interfere with the delivery of our community-based
player development model while affording players and teams legitimate pathways to
reach the highest level of play”.
