Yet to be seen if any of these games will have any sort of broadcast. I wouldn't get your hopes up though, but I will update with links when I see them

If you were like me and wondering what some of the other leagues were, here is a little guide for them:
  • PDL - Premier Development League. Part of the 4th level of the soccer pyramid, 61 US based teams, 6 Candian teams.
  • NPSL - National Premier Soccer League. Also part of the 4th level of the pyramid. 85 teams.
  • USASA - United States Adult Soccer Association. The USASA technically includes the PDL and NPSL (as stated by the Wikipedia article), but the rest of the association includes leagues that include the 35 year old from the bar down the street that played in the USL once, and that 18 year old who wants to play at a high level but probably isn't going to play college ball.
  • USSSA - a non profit organization, the United States Specialty Sports Association is a "multi sport governing body looking to grow and develop soccer" at the youth and adult level.
