Since 2011, the JPOL is run under the umbrella of JPH. It was created by Nigel Traverso and Rachael Bloemker in their vision to organize and run a competitive outdoor league in each region across the United States whereby youth clubs and their membership have the opportunity to compete against each other on a regular basis.

JPOL is played annually during the spring months beginning in April with Championships held no later than the second full weekend in June. Participation is open to all USA Field Hockey Member Clubs and all are encouraged to participate in any age division being offered, U-14, U-16 and U-19. JPOL continues to work with clubs in all regions interested in participating in JPH events. All JPH events are USA Field Hockey Sanctioned.
