The Women’s Premier Soccer League is the longest active women’s soccer league in the United States. Established in 1998, the WPSL has grown at an average of 12% over its 23-season history – a consistent trend rarely achieved in team sports that also makes it the largest women’s soccer league in the world.
The WPSL is sanctioned by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA)– an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the ruling body of soccer in the United States.
Genevieve will be returning to ISU for one more season in the fall (COVID Year Extra Season).
WPSL is a summer semi-pro league for mainly college players which allows them to return for July pre-season practices.
