Another NEPSAC season is nearly here, as teams are hard at work laying the foundation for the 2019 campaign.

Before the games get underway in early-to-mid September, New England Soccer Journal's NEPSAC coverage gets underway with our comprehensive preseason coaches poll. Head coaches from throughout the region voted anonymously, and then votes were tallied up on our end.

The end result is an early look at the region's top 20 prep school programs. Of note, the defending champions are Berkshire (Class A), Middlesex (Class B), Millbrook (Class C) and Lexington Christian (Class D).

Let's take a look at how the NEPSAC field is shaping up.
