This new platform comes as a result of a long-term sanctioning agreement between US Club Soccer and U90C Sports that is highlighted by the Red River NPL, North Texas Regional Premier League and Texas State Cup.<\/p><p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.u90c.com\/ntxpc\">North Texas Premier Clubs<\/a>\u00a0is responsible for competitive programming for member clubs in north Texas, west Texas and east Texas. While the\u00a0<strong>Red River NPL<\/strong>\u00a0was first introduced within the National Premier Leagues beginning with the 2017-18 season with members in north Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, this management shift in league operations signals an expansion into defined\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usclubsoccer.org\/news_article\/show\/%22\">North<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.u90c.com\/red-river-npl-south\">South<\/a>\u00a0Conferences. Earlier this spring, the Red River NPL and Oklahoma Premier Clubs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usclubsoccer.org\/news_article\/show\/1104403\">added Blitz United SC and Oklahoma Energy FC<\/a>\u00a0from Oklahoma for the 2020-21 season, and carries momentum from South Lakes SC (OK) winning the 19-U Girls NPL Finals championship in 2019. Red River NPL has also welcomed KC Legends, and the league expects to expand in the north Texas area this fall. There are currently\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usclubsoccer.org\/red-river-npl\">25 member clubs<\/a>\u00a0within the Red River NPL.<\/p><p>The North Conference of the Red River NPL primarily includes Oklahoma and Arkansas clubs, while the South Conference is comprised of north Texas and north Louisiana clubs. Teams will play intra-conference games, as well as cross-conference games through the Red River Cup Series. Division champions of 13-U through 19-U boys and girls age groups advance to their respective US Club Soccer championships: Red River NPL winners to the NPL Finals and Red River Cup Series winners to the National Cup Finals.<\/p><p>Below the Red River NPL in the tiered structure of the North Texas Premier Clubs is the\u00a0<strong>North Texas Regional Premier League<\/strong>. This new league begins in August and provides regional play and further development to 6-U through 19-U age groups. There will be promotion opportunities for teams aspiring to play in the Red River NPL. Here is a list of anticipated clubs in the North Texas Regional Premier League:<\/p><p>Allegiance FC, Alpha Forms Academy, American Academy of Soccer, AYSES, BVB, Colleyville Evolution, Dallas Cosmos, Dallas Roma, Dallas Texans, D\u2019Feeters Kicks SC, DI Stars FC, FC Dallas, FC Dallas WTX, FC Premier, Fever United, FM Revolution, Ft.
