The GLA MDL Division is now accepting applications ahead of the 2021-22 season. Founded in 2011, the Midwest Developmental League joined the Great Lakes Alliance beginning with the 2020-21 season.<\/p>

In totality, the\u00a0GLA<\/a>\u00a0now serves as a U-10 through U-19 regional soccer league for competitive boys and girls clubs and consists of 400 teams from 62 clubs, spanning Ohio, Indiana, western New York, as well as western and central Pennsylvania.<\/p>

The GLA MDL is a club-based boys league with quality local competition, increased college recruiting exposure and a predictable calendar model. U-10 through U-14 age groups begin play in the fall, with U-15 through U-19 age groups starting at the conclusion of the high school season. This structure was designed to provide flexibility to clubs and to establish an appropriate training-to-match ratio.<\/p>

For the 2021-22 season, the GLA MDL intends to create a girls division, while expanding its existing boys division.<\/p>

Club-based applications are reviewed based on standards and criteria and having all six age groups, U-13 through U-19, represented in the NPL in at least one gender. Clubs may apply for either boys, girls or both.\u00a0<\/p>

The Great Lakes Alliance is well integrated with US Club Soccer competitions, including the NPL post season, where qualifiers advance to US Club Soccer\u2019s league-based championship series: the NPL Playoffs and Finals.<\/p>
