ECNL HONORS CLASS OF 2016

Last week, while players across the country signed their National Letters of Intent (NLI) to continue their soccer careers in college, the 2016 graduating class of the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) showed why the ECNL is the top youth female development platform in the world. More than 1,200 of the graduating seniors in the ECNL will go on to play soccer at the collegiate level this fall, with 955 alone in NCAA Division I programs.
