About Us

The USLPA is an organization that is build on the mantra “for players, by players.” Not only was the organization created by USL players, it is run by and for USL players. The players on each team vote to elect a Team Representatives, and those Player Representatives elect a seven-player Executive Board. The Executive Board governs the PA and makes all major decisions. The Executive Board also hires the PA’s Executive Director, who runs the day-to-day operations of the PA, and its General Counsel, who provides legal advice to the PA.

Structure

The Executive Committee oversees and directs all USLPA operations, communications, strategy, business development, player relations, internal communication and management, finances, personnel management, board of directions, collective bargaining committee, media, and social media.
