2010 NPSL season

The 2010 National Premier Soccer League season is the 8th season of the NPSL. The season began on April 3, 2010, and ended with the NPSL Championship Game in August. The NPSL had planned for form a Winter league that would play from September 2010 to March 2011 but when only three clubs were willing to participate the plans were dropped.[1] Those three clubs eventually ended up forming the SPSL for that Fall, though that league would fold the following Spring.
