Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Granite State Team and New England Premiership Team? How will LSC determine in which league the team will compete?  New England Premiership Teams will be competing in the New England Premiership League (NEP), a new youth soccer league in New England hosting teams from some of New England's most competitive clubs (www.nepremiership.com). Granite State Teams will compete in the Granite State Youth Soccer league (www.granitestatesoccer.com).  Immediately after tryouts when teams are formed, LSC will assess the level of competition most appropriate for each team and designate each team as a Granite State or New England Premiership team. Notification on the team’s level of play will be announced at the same time rosters are announced for Fall 2010.   

By accepting a position on a New England Premiership team, you are accepting a slightly greater commitment in time and fees. A NEP team will compete against clubs from other states in New England, requiring greater travel distances for away games.
