These are basically summer leagues for college players. They are U23 although each league may allow a couple of older players per team. In some cases it's an extension of youth soccer - free to watch and parents pull up the folding chair and you need to pay to play. Bigger teams are more like a minor league baseball experience - they sell tickets and concessions, and will arrange host families for the players to stay with over the summer.

- WPSL is the oldest, been around for 25 years or so. Teams play a regional regular season and top teams qualify for a national championship playoff.
- W League is in its 2nd/3rd year, exact same concept. It's connected to USL (which also fields 3 men's divisions and in 2024 plans to add a pro women's division).
- Pro23 is a DMV-only league and (I think) would be considered a lower competitive level than the 1st two.
- UWS - this is a fourth summer league although I don't think they have any DC-area teams.

That's about all I know...

I am seeing lots of leagues advertised and am wondering what the difference is between them? Anyone with older daughters still playing know? I see W League, WPSL, PRO 23. Are there more?
