ABOUT SWPL

Founded in 1976 by Arturo Briones in Garden Grove, California, the Southwest Premier League began as Coast Soccer League. For 50 years, the league has provided a competitive and sustainable home for adult amateur soccer clubs.

In 2009, following an expansion partnership with NorCal Premier, the league became SoCal Premier. A decade later, it became an official affiliate of NISA Pro and rebranded as the Southwest Premier League, expanding its reach across the Southwestern United States.

Today, SWPL remains the league of choice for ambitious adult soccer clubs throughout the region. We put clubs first, emphasizing affordability, stability, and long-term growth. By working closely with each club and supporting its unique goals, we help build stronger organizations and a more connected soccer community.
