ABOUT THE MIDWEST CONFERENCE
The Midwest Conference is one of 13 conferences that fall under the scope of the US Youth Soccer National League and operate at a multi-state level — providing high-level competition on a consistent basis at a targeted local level (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota).
Note: Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana teams are split between the Great Lakes Conference and Midwest Conference, due to various factors. Click Here for more details on those states.
The Midwest Conference’s top tier of divisions (Premier I and Club vs. Club) offers its teams an opportunity to advance to the US Youth Soccer Midwest Regional Championships, which are held annually each summer, as well as to qualify for the following season of National League P.R.O. Midwest Conference teams also have access to the National League Showcase Series, which offers a unique opportunity for teams to compete within a national platform with diverse cross-Conference matchups against teams from differing parts of the country.
The US Youth Soccer National League provides annual league competitions at the multi-state and national tiers for the highest levels of boys and girls teams in US Youth Soccer.
The multi-state tier of competition is comprised of the National League Conferences, which debuted in the 2018-19 season to replace what were previously known as the US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues. The national tier of competition is National League P.R.O. — Player, Recruitment, Opportunity — which provides a platform for top teams in the country to compete in a league format that offers a direct pathway to the annual US Youth Soccer National Championships.
