UCL League Structure

The structure of the League’s divisions will vary by age and ability to best meet the needs of the players, teams, and clubs. The following draft outline provides more details:

• Divisional placement
  • Divisions include:
    • State Divisions – Prioritizes a higher level of competition over geography.
      • Where possible, multiple divisions will be offered (e.g., State Division 1, State Division 2, etc.) with each Division reflecting the overall competitiveness of participating teams.
    • District Divisions – Prioritizes reduced travel times while maintaining meaningful tiers of competition.
      • North East District
      • North West District
      • Central East District
      • Central West District
      • South District
      • Where possible, multiple divisions will be offered (e.g., Central East District Division 1, Central East District Division 2, etc.) with each Division reflecting the overall competitiveness of participating teams.
      • Teams will request their preferred divisional placement during registration
        • Teams may request a division outside of where they are physically based. In these cases, teams may have a schedule more heavily weighted towards away games.
      • Prior to the start of the season, divisions will be released for feedback from club and team leadership.
      • Promotion and relegation between seasons will occur; however, teams may also request changes based on mitigating circumstances (e.g., roster changes, etc.).
      • In rare cases, teams may have games scheduled across districts (e.g., North East District may play North West District) at the same Division level (e.g., Division 1), with priority given to travel distance (e.g., against a team in a nearby District), to help ensure meaningful games.
• U8
  • Standings will be kept internally however, they will not be published.
  • There is no State Division at this age group.
  • District Divisions:
    • These will prioritize shorter travel times but will still be tiered for competitive games.
• U9-U10

  • State Division 1.

• U11-U19
  • Standings will be kept and published.
  • State Division 1 and State Division 2.
    • These will prioritize a higher level of competition over geography. Teams may play any opponent within the division regardless of travel time.
