WPSL - Women's Premier Soccer League

[Crew8]

Just got word if anyone is interested, Ohio Galaxies FC from Alpha, OH which is near Dayton is playing a match at 4pm this Saturday, July 14th in Canton at Diamond Sports Complex against a select All-Star team of college and high school players from the area. Free admission and parking. I don't notice any Akron soccer players on the Galaxies roster, but possibly will be on the All-Star team.

Matches will be taking place all weekend showcasing youth premier clubs and high school teams as part of the ISN Cup which is part of International Soccer Network.

I think it would be worth seeing the Galaxies vs Area All-Star match. As I get more info, I'll be sure to share.

Given free admission and parking I would agree with you that it would be worth seeing this match if in addition they provide compensation to spectators for time and travel.

Edit: Does this really belong in the Akron Zips Championship Soccer board?

considering this board covers the women's soccer team as well, it does belong here.

We always discuss the development of the men's squad and where they play. Why don't we have a Women's developmental team in the NE Ohio area or even Northern Ohio? The closest developmental clubs I found are from the NPSL, Ohio Galaxies FC near Dayton, Ohio and Ohio Premier Women's SC in Dublin, OH. In the USL W-League is the Dayton Dutch Lions. So you either have to leave the state or travel two hours south. Where do the Lady Zips play and train competitively during the summer?

30 Women's clubs in the USL, 65 Women's clubs in the WPSL, 8 clubs in the Women's WPSL Elite League. If Canton, Akron, or Cleveland had a Women's development team, the Lady Zips could continue to train and develop into a stronger team in the area instead of traveling.
