Ecnl Boys
THE ECNL was founded in 2009 with a mission to Raise the Game and change the youth soccer landscape through innovative, player-centered programs that raise standards of quality and experience in all aspects of the game. With a vision to be better with independent governance and leadership structures. The ECNL Board of Directors and staff govern all programs and platforms. The ECNL is sanctioned by US Club Soccer.
Sting’s Pre-Academy Program is the perfect bridge between the Little Stingers program and Academy program.
Alternatively, for recreational players aged U7-U8 who are motivated to increase their commitment level to soccer and accelerate skill development guided by professional coaches.
Pre-Academy is both fun and challenging with a curriculum built around mastering the ball and mastering the opponent. We want players to develop confidence on the ball individually and express this ability through direct, individual expression vs. an opponent. Emphasis tactically on decision making 1v1, with a teammate 2v1 and when matched up 2v2. Guiding players to better understand attacking principles under such conditions.
Physically players will be challenged with Speed, Agility and Quickness in soccer-specific scenarios. Let us help your player take their game to the next level and set them up for success long-term by focusing on what matters now!
