The league is sanctioned by the United States Adult Soccer Association,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> WPSL teams feature collegiate and post-collegiate players, who currently or previously played across all divisions of the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA.
