2026/27 TEAM'S AND LEAUGES

Our competitive program includes teams from U8 through U19, with players placed at the level that best supports their development in a challenging and structured environment. Teams compete in outdoor leagues during the fall and spring seasons, and continue training and competition in the winter through indoor leagues and outdoor matches for older age groups.

Depending on age and level, teams participate in local, regional, and national leagues, as well as tournaments throughout the year. Our coaching and technical staff work together to guide each team’s pathway and ensure the right balance of development and competition.

ECNL RL

The Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) Regional League (RL) is a top-tier competitive platform providing a developmental pathway for youth soccer clubs, serving as a bridge between local competition and the national ECNL platform.. It provides high-level regional play, college recruitment opportunities, and, for many, reduced travel compared to the national league.

Key aspects of the ECNL RL include:

Structure: Operated by US Club Soccer for boys and girls (U13-U19), it features geographically based conferences, reducing travel while maintaining high competition.
Player Pathway: Designed as a secondary tier, it acts as a development pathway to the top-tier ECNL, allowing clubs to move players between levels.
Competitiveness: It serves as a direct path to college and professional soccer, often featuring extensive college scout attendance at events.
Post-Season & Events: Top-performing teams from regional conferences qualify for ECNL Regional League Playoffs, where they can compete for league championships.
Progression: It offers a merit-based system with potential promotion/relegation based on performance.
