Del Rey City SC announced today that it has joined the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) for the 2014/2015 season.
“We couldn’t be happier about joining the United Premier Soccer League and are looking forward to playing our first game as this is a winter league schedule which fits our calendar perfectly,” Del Rey City SC owner Brian Perez stated. “Our club thinks it’s a great fit. The league is competitive, plays in the NPSL offseason, and gives us the opportunity to play some quality Los Angeles area clubs for the first time. Quite frankly, I have been impressed with the cooperative, positive nature of the people managing the league.”
The UPSL is in its fourth year as a regional soccer league based in Southern California.
“We are excited to have Del Rey City SC to become a member of the Western Conference of the UPSL,” UPSL Commissioner Yan K. Skwara stated. “DRCSC is a growing club with high aspirations. We look forward to working with its ownership group and supporting Del Rey’s efforts in our league.”
The UPSL season runs from September through March as a winter league with a UPSL League Cup competition every April.
Joining the UPSL allows Del Rey City to further develop the club’s structure, which includes amateur teams from various levels and leagues. DRCSC successfully completed the 2014 NPSL season in the league’s Southwest Conference.
