 This weekend features the first full slate of games for the WPSL Northern Conference. All seven teams will play at least one match from Friday through Sunday, and we're excited to check out WPSL action for the first time this summer. One squad, Maplebrook Fury, is playing back to back Friday-Saturday games in 90+ degree heat. So whether you can make it to a match in person, or prefer to stream a game from the comfort of your air conditioned home, we will make it easy for you to jump start your Summer of Soccer. How to stream WPSL matches it's the summer of 21, and we expect to see our favorite sports from the comfort of our home, either for convenience or to beat the heat. Thankfully, we should see a number of WPSL Northern Conference matches streamed live on Eleven Sports (formerly MyCujoo). The platform soon to be named Eleven Sports has been a reliable lower division soccer streaming service for years, featuring a variety of leagues with free access. Signing up for Eleven Sports is easy, as I just learned for myself this week. Simply go to the Eleven Sports website: https://elevensports.com/en and click on "REGISTER" in the top right corner. From there you can simply use your Gmail or Facebook account to register with Eleven Sports, or simply make your own unique account with them.  Once you've made your account, you can search for the WPSL as a league or for your favorite team. As an example, you can search "Mankato United SC" in the search bar, and immediately get taken to their team page, with their schedule and links to game streams readily available. You may also see past matches that you can stream at your convenience. While the WPSL encourages every team to stream every match, it is still up to the individual clubs to produce a video stream, so checking the website/app regularly will ensure you know which games you can stream from home.
