National Premier Leagues (NPL) is the preferred and most recognised pathway to becoming a professional footballer in Australia. It is the second tier of Football that underpins the national A-League competition. The NPL competition is for player U14 – U18.

Murray United has 4 teams competing in the Football Victoria National Premier Leagues (NPL) Competition – they are U14, U15, U16, and U18 boys’ teams. We are also fully accredited and licenced to run the Skill Acquisition Program (SAP) for boys up to U8 and girls up to U12 as foundation for NPL participation.

To ensure talented female players in regional areas also have the opportunity to access the NPL pathway. Players in regions without WNPL representation are permitted to play down one age group in the regional NPL boys team/s.

Limited places are open to join our NPL program for the 2024 season in our U14, U15, U16 and U18 NPL program.
