Letter from the President

As the boys youth soccer environment in the United States continues to change at an ever-increasing pace, we are excited to begin the 3rd season of the Boys Elite Clubs National League. It has been no small feat to create a new competition and development platform in an already dynamic and chaotic landscape, but with the great conviction and support of our member clubs, the Boys ECNL has grown significantly, strengthened incredibly, and is poised to help lead American youth soccer into the future, Raising the Game for boys players, teams, and clubs.

Our mission is to provide our players, coaches, and member clubs with the highest quality of competition, education and development available in the youth game, as well as unparalleled opportunities and experiences. With your support, and with your unique perspective and voice informing every decision we make, the Boys ECNL will continue to improve the quality of the game, and the quality of the player experience, every day. We have only begun to scratch the surface of the impact that we can have together on the sport.

The quality of competition in the Boys ECNL has perhaps been most evident in the performance of our clubs in the first two years of the ENPL, where each year the league has captured 4 of 5 ENPL National Champions. We look forward to seeing our clubs continue to set the standard in this regard. The 2019-2020 Boys ECNL season will include 90 clubs in the league at every age group, with great new clubs in the Pacific Northwest and many other new cities and regions across the country. The Boys ECNL is truly a national league, a national platform, and a national structure to provide opportunity for the American player – no matter what city they live in.

As a member club, you are the core of the Boys ECNL. Thank you for your commitment to the league, to continuing to push limits and raise standards in our league, and to making this league everything you want it to be.

We wish you a fantastic 2019-2020 season.

Christian LaversBoys ECNL President

This is going to be a perfect solution for our boys, melding seamlessly into our long-term player-development plans and providing Crossfire players with another elite avenue to achieve everything they hope to in soccer. Across the board our coaches, players and families are excited to get this first season started.

Eastside FC

The transition for Eastside FC has been straightforward as our philosophy, organization and curriculum incorporated many of these initiatives and ideals early on. Fortunately, we have always chosen to think longer term about player development and create opportunities for our players through to the highest levels. We take pride in the quality of our coaching, our strong links to Washington’s professional soccer community, the number of our players who move on to the college game and who get access to national team opportunities, and our history of developing youth players who play great soccer.

“ Eastside FC is very excited to be part of the boys ECNL on the inaugural season for the NW conference. The ECNL combines a great regional competition with showcase opportunities to match up against other top clubs within the ECNL from other regions. This will provide an excellent college exposure vehicle for all of our players.
