Boys ECNL Program

Overview

The ECNL Boys Program (U13-U19) is for players most committed to soccer that are interested in competing at the highest level of club soccer locally, regionally and nationally. The ECNL Boys Program has two teams per age group, an ECNL and an ECNL Regional League team. The ECNL platform provides the highest level of competition in the state of Oregon for boys behind the Timbers Academy.

Players are required to tryout at the beginning of each year and selected players will be placed into the ECNL Pool for each age. Head coaches will make decisions on player placement on either the ECNL or ECNL RL teams throughout the summer to give players time for development and to earn their spots.

The ECNL and ECNL RL teams will compete in the ECNL & ECNL RL Far West Conferences which includes Oregon and Idaho clubs. ECNL teams will have mandatory national ECNL Showcase attendances and ECNL RL will have the option to attend ECNL RL Showcases. These showcases provide the best opportunity for players to be seen by college scouts and gain exposure to the highest level of play in the country. This will provide boys the best environment for development and preparation for playing post-club and high school.
