UPSL Intro
I am thrilled to announce that ALBION SC BROOKLYN has been awarded a franchise in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), commencing in the Spring of 2024. This is a significant milestone for our club, as it provides an exceptional platform to not only highlight the talent of players in Brooklyn and New York City but also to showcase our distinctive development philosophy and player pathway.
The UPSL offers a unique opportunity for our club's first team by endorsing inclusive player development models and approaches on both regional and national levels. This allows our players to gain exposure and advance their playing careers, whether they aspire to pursue collegiate opportunities, semi-professional endeavors, or even a pathway to professional environments.
At ALBION SC BROOKLYN, our mission is to offer diverse player development pathways to all members of our community. With the addition of UPSL, we now have a comprehensive club model that caters to players of all ages, ensuring they have a place to thrive and pursue their soccer ambitions.
We are incredibly excited about this new chapter and look forward to the opportunities it will bring for our players and our community.
