About Boys ECNL
The Boys Elite Clubs National League (Boys ECNL) was founded to improve the daily environment for boy’s youth soccer players through a collaborative club-based development program featuring competition, player identification, and coaching and club development platforms. The Boys ECNL will include both regular season conference games and cross-conference events, and qualifying teams from the Boys ECNL will advance to the post-season Elite National Premier League (ENPL) Playoffs.
The Boys ECNL is based on the values of grass-roots collaboration and innovation, and supports the independence and freedom of coaches and clubs to fully manage the development path for their players, including the system and style of play, the competitive calendar, and all aspects of the development path. The Boys ECNL will raise standards in training, competition, club organization, and coaching in a holistic development program.
The Boys ECNL Southwest Conference will include twelve clubs from across the region who have distinguished themselves in a variety of different competitions in US Club Soccer and elsewhere over the past years: Blackhawks (AZ), Beach FC (CA), Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks (CA), Gilbert Arsenal (AZ), Heat FC (NV), LA Premier (CA), Legends (CA), Players Soccer Club (NV), Sereno (AZ), Slammers (CA), Tucson Soccer Academy (AZ) and West Coast FC (CA).
The Boys ECNL will be led by a Board of Directors elected by its member clubs.
