CSL Premier was created by Coast Soccer League 30 years ago to give elite players in Southern California a top-flight league in which to compete. It quickly became the place for players to show off their talents to both ODP scouts and College Coaches. CSL Premiers’ rise to prominence also meant players and teams did not need to go beyond Southern California to other States to find the highest level of competition for League games…and this tradition continues today, right here in your own back yard! Here’s to 30 years!
Coast Premier is committed to providing an elite level competitive gaming league - while also highlighting the value soccer can bring to the development of life skills
At CSL we believe in providing a league where the level you play at is determined by results on the field, not by the crest on your shirt. Coast Soccer League and CSL Premier have long been the flag bearers of the promotion and relegation playing model in youth soccer. Founded by a few clubs agreeing to put their best teams into a league 50 years ago; it adopted a playing model reflecting the American Dream - in which every club and its teams had a pathway to advance up or down the playing ladder based upon an ethos of working hard, developing players, and earning it on the field.
Teams who play in Premier have earned it on the field.
Licensed athletic trainers will be present at all league games played at the GreatPark in Irvine. We hope no one gets injured, but if they do, you can rest assured we will be ready to support your players.

CSL Premier strives to offer the best experience both on and off the field. That includes supporting the coaches with resources that can elevate their game. CSL has partnered with UK based coaching software company Sports Session Planner.
Top teams and coaching academies in both Europe and the United States are utilizing these tools - including Liverpool, Roma, Bayern Leverkusen and many more! Sport Session Planner’s technology is a great added value to the CSL membership.
