Boys ECNL-RL
Where the best go to improve their best.
Boys ECNL Regional League teams compete in ECNL-RL Midwest against the second teams of ECNL Midwest clubs, and locally in ECNL-RL Twin Cities or N1. It’s a direct pathway toward ECNL.
- U13–U18/19
- Boys
- Aug–July
Where it fits.
ECNL-RL is the next step to ECNL for boys U13 and up, with tougher regional competition than a local league alone.
Challenging games, regionally and at home.
Two Levels of Play
Every team plays ECNL-RL Midwest regionally, plus ECNL-RL Twin Cities or N1 locally, based on last season’s results.
Showcase Exposure
ECNL-RL national events and MTA college showcases put players in front of college coaches.
More Postseason Paths
Teams can qualify for the ECNL-RL postseason and N1 playoffs, plus MN Cup state cup.
Pathway to ECNL
ECNL-RL teams train with the same staff and standards as ECNL, so players are ready when they move up.
