What is VIPL?

Vancouver Island Premier League is a BC Soccer-sanctioned, Island-based competitive league comprised of teams from both Upper Island Soccer Association (UISA ) and Lower Island Soccer Association (LISA ). It is the second tier of four recognized by the BC Soccer League Play Pathway.

VIPL is equivalent to Metro/Select on the Mainland and teams compete provincially at the “A” Cup level.

Player Pathway:

Tier I = BCSPL (BC Soccer Premier League) – Also called HPL

Tier II = VIPL (Vancouver Island Premier League) Also called A-Cup

Tier III = UISA Pacific Development League – Also called Gold, Rep, or B-Cup

Tier IV = House – also called Club or Silver/Bronze

VIPL age divisions: Boys and Girls – U14, U15, U16 and U18.

*U17 age players attend evaluations with the U18s – if there is a large enough cohort, U17 teams may be fielded. Otherwise, U17s and U18s will play together on the U18 teams.
