Frontier Conference
Frontier Conference, managed by US Youth Soccer National League, provides South Texas teams a high-level competition through a multi-state association league (Oklahoma, North Texas, and South Texas). Premier I Divisions (team-based) are offered for both boys and girls teams in the 13U-19U age groups and includes four teams from each State Association, comprising a 12-team league. Frontier Development League (club-based) is a girls only club versus club division of the Frontier Conference. All teams compete to qualify for other US Youth Soccer South Region and National competitions.
The Frontier Conference is one of 13 conferences that fall under the scope of the US Youth Soccer Leagues Program and operate at a multi-state level—providing high-level competition on a consistent basis at a targeted local level (Oklahoma, North Texas and South Texas).
The Frontier Conference’s Premier I Division tier offers its teams an opportunity to qualify for the season’s National League Showcase Series. In addition to providing a pathway to qualifying for the National League Showcase Series, the Frontier Conference provides teams with a chance to advance to the US Youth Soccer Southern Regional Championships, which are held annually each summer. The US Youth Soccer Leagues Program provides annual league competitions at the multi-state and national tiers for the highest levels of boys and girls teams in US Youth Soccer.
Additional information regarding the Frontier Conference can be found on the US Youth Soccer website. Information regarding South Texas teams in Frontier Conference will be posted to this web page.
