The Women's League Soccer (WLS) was a regional semi-professional women's soccer league in the United States that was created in 2010 and began its first season 2011. After the 2012 season, the league transitioned to indoor soccer under the name "Women's Arena Soccer League".
Contrasting significantly from other soccer leagues in the U.S., WLS intended to be an open entry, promotion and relegation competition. The league observes all FIFA standards, rules, player transfer windows and international calendar. The league consisted of six teams and the seasons lasted from May to the end of July. The league was largely the idea of Shek Borkowski. It was initially planned to be named "Women's Major League Soccer", but was changed prior to the start of the first season.
