The St. Louis Lions are a member of the United Soccer League’s Premier Development League where, players have the ability to compete in the PDL throughout the summer months in a professionalized setting while maintaining their collegiate eligibility. The league is the proving ground for players that aspire to reach the highest-levels of the game, while providing affordable family entertainment within their city.

 

The USL allows eight players over the age of 23 and seven foreign players on the club’s 26-man PDL roster (three of which must be under age 19), but the core of the Lions will be comprised of St. Louis talent under 23 years of age.

The Lions are part of the Heartland Division of the Central Conference which includes teams from Boulder CO, Springfield MO, Des Moines IA, Overland Park KS (Kansas City), Sioux Falls SD, and Thunder Bay, ON. The 2007 PDL season will include 63 throughout the US and Canada within four conferences (Central, Eastern, Southern and Western).

The road to USL’s Professional First Division starts at the PDL.
