PRE-ECNL FRAMEWORK

 

LEAGUE PLAY

The format of the Pre-ECNL varies by region based upon what works best for participating clubs. All Pre-ECNL leagues include the U12 age group, and some extend to the U9 age group. Pre-ECNL competition prioritizes quality games with limited travel, appropriate to the age level of the players.

​

NATIONAL EVENTS

The Pre-ECNL also includes a number of regionalized events where teams in Pre-ECNL leagues can drive to play against teams from other Pre-ECNL leagues in a unique and fun environment. Each Pre-ECNL event allows teams to compete to be the event champion.
