Continental Tire RLSG Rosters: The Continental Tire ECNL Regional League Selection Games are “all-star” matches that bring top players at each regular season ECNL Regional League Event together for representative competition on the first day of the event. They are one component of the ECNL Regional League Selection Program, which encompasses all player identification and development programs within the league.

Players were selected for the games by ECNL Player Identification staff through a combination of scouting and recommendations based on performances over the past several months. These athletes will not compete for their clubs on this day in order to properly rest and prepare for the Regional League Selection Game.
