League

ECNL RL

Our Elite teams play in the Elite Clubs National League - Regional League (ECNL RL). Each ECNL RL is structured slightly different, reflecting the unique needs and desires of the participating clubs, geography, and more.


ECNL RL is operated and managed to ensure a consistent environment and level of professionalism across all leagues, facilitating more club connectivity between levels of play and providing a path for more players within each Member Club to reach their fullest potential. Each league provides the opportunity for teams and players to develop through regular high-level competition.
