The USISL Premier Division Soccer league is associated with the U.S. Amateur Soccer Association and is the top amateur league in the U.S. It ranks below the A-League (Division II status with the U.S. Soccer Federation) and the USISL Pro League (Division III status).
Each of the 31 Premier Division teams will play two games apiece (home and away) against the other teams in its division. Additional games are scheduled against division or non-division opponents, and sometimes teams from other leagues within the USISL system. Sixteen games are designated as “league” games, and all others — a minimum of four games — are “non-league” games, any of which may be substituted for any of the 16 games that are not completed due to weather, travel, or other circumstances.
Several franchise changes have occurred:
The Fontana Falcons have become the San Gabriel Valley Highlanders.
Twin Cities, a reserve team for the Minnesota Thunder, has joined the South Central Division.
The Everett BigFoot is now the Puget Sound Bigfoot
