PATHWAY PDL

Introducing PATHWAY: PDL — Princeton Development League
Beginning January 2026, Princeton will officially have its own year-round, modern, small-sided soccer league built entirely around player development, community connection, and long-term growth.

PATHWAY: PDL (Princeton Development League) is designed for players ages 6–14 who want a fun, competitive, and educational soccer environment rooted in proven developmental principles. With 6v6 as the core format, players experience more touches, more decisions, and more involvement than in traditional formats.

Why PATHWAY?
Princeton continues to grow rapidly — more families, more traffic, and fewer safe, accessible outlets for youth activity. PATHWAY will become the heartbeat of local soccer: a place where players learn, families connect, and the community grows stronger.

Registration Open: Limited spots per age division.
Season Kickoff: January 2026

Join us as we build something new, exciting, and lasting for Princeton.
