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 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.

pride soccer clUb
The Pride Soccer Club was formed in June 1994, based on the need for a high quality organization to coordinate and supervise a family oriented soccer pro-gram in Colorado Springs. During its first year, Pride Soccer Club coordinated 45 teams with 430 children participating in its organized soccer programs. Today, Pride Soccer Club is one of the largest youth soccer clubs in the state of Colorado with approximately 4500 players on over 300 teams. At Pride, our vision is to raise the level of soccer in our local community by providing youth players with a quality experience in a safe, positive and challenging environment.
The Association is devoted to ”Doing What’s Right for Kids” and “Developing Better People, Better Play-ers.”
“ Being a part of ECNL and the Mountain West Conference has provided a platform that helps connect our Pride to Pro path-way with our U23 Premier Development League team and the connection to the USL Switchbacks FC. The Mountain West Conference was competitive and we thoroughly enjoyed the exposure that ECNL gave our players. We enjoyed our inaugural season and are excited to begin
our second.- Cole Ouren, ECNL Director of
