P.P.A. Mission
The mission of the Pennsylvania Premier Alliance League is to develop a cooperative organization, dedicated to providing the highest level of soccer training and soccer competition to the youth of Pennsylvania. Our mission is to
provide coaching at the highest level possible along with a firm committment to the technical training of our younger players. By insisting upon having only the most competitive
teams within our league we will assure our children of the first class games necessary for the practice of previously learned skills in a competitive environment. We will form select teams from within the organization to compete on a national and international level in order to promote the youth of Pennsylvania in the sport of soccer. The Pennsylvania
Premier Alliance will register and play within the auspices of the US Club Soccer, which is an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation.
