By organizing competition at the regional level, the NPL ensures that players can participate in high-caliber matches without the strain of frequent, long-distance travel, making it a more accessible and sustainable option for all involved. With divisions for boys and girls from U13 to U19, the league draws the best teams from across the country, fostering a challenging atmosphere that pushes players to reach their full potential. ​
