The US Youth Soccer Frontier Development League is under the banner of the Frontier Conference, one of 13 Conferences under the US Youth Soccer National League in the Multi-State Tier. The Frontier Development League consists of teams primarily from Oklahoma, North Texas and South Texas.
Developed in 2018, the Frontier Development League (FDL) formed as a club-based league to address the needs — namely, player pool depth and development, staffing, and college recruiting — of clubs within the former U.S. Soccer Girls Development Academy. The FDL continues to serve the needs of clubs within the Frontier Conference by providing a highly competitive, stable and consistent platform with opportunities into other USYS competitions, including the National League Showcase Series.
