Under which many many leagues fall including the Northeast Premier (PreAcademy) League (NEPL)
The Northeast Premier League is the league in which the Bolts PreAcademy teams play (U13 (1998), U14 (1997), U15 (1996)). It is an extremely competitive league. For the U14 and U15 leagues, the season doesn't officially start until after the high school season ends.


Below is the description from the website.


CHARLESTON, S.C. (Apr. 13, 2011) – Entering its third season in 2011-12, an expanded Northeast Pre-Academy League will become part of US Club Soccer’s National Premier Leagues (NPL), which are leagues throughout the country with the highest level of competition in a given area.

The Northeast Pre-Academy League will join a trio of new leagues in the NPL that have been announced recently, including the Midwest Developmental League, Southeast Pre-Academy League and Texas Pre-Academy League.

Since its founding in 2009, the Northeast Pre-Academy League has grown from 12 clubs in its inaugural season to 18 clubs for the 2011-12 season. The league has also expanded from two age groups back in its first year to U-12 through U-15 boys’ age groups in 2011-12. Each member club, of which all are members of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, will take part in the U-14 and U-15 age groups, while most will take part in the U-12 and U-13 age groups.

The 18 clubs competing in the Northeast Pre-Academy League for the 2011-12 season include:

Liberty Division:
• Albertson SC (NY)
• Cosmos Academy East (NY)
• FC Greater Boston (MA)
• FC Westchester (NY)
• Met Oval (NY)
• Oakwood SC (CT)
• PDA (NJ)
• Seacoast United (NH)
• South Central Premier (CT)

Mid-Atlantic Division:

• FC DELCO (PA)
• Match Fit (NJ)
• McLean Youth Soccer (VA)

Northeast Pre-Academy League champions in the U-13 through U-15 age groups will be crowned in a postseason tournament in which eight qualifying teams in each age group will compete. From there, Northeast Pre-Academy League champions can compete at the inaugural National Premier Leagues Champions Cup in July 2012.
