ECNL Boys rosters announced for league’s first-ever National Selection Game

RICHMOND, Va. – The ECNL Boys announced the rosters for the league’s first-ever National Selection Game. Taking place at ECNL Arizona, the National Selection Game will feature top players from the U17 and U18/19 age groups, representing nearly 30 clubs.

The ECNL National Selection Game is an “all-star” match that brings some of the best players at each regular season ECNL National Event together for representative competition on the first day of the event. It is just one component of the ECNL National Selection Program, which encompasses all player identification and development programs within the league.

“We are extremely excited for the inaugural National Selection Game at the ECNL Arizona event,” said ECNL Boys Commissioner Jason Kutney. “This game is a great opportunity to recognize and celebrate the incredible players we have in this league, and to showcase their talent in front of a large crowd of their club teammates, scouts and spectators. The atmosphere is going to be unparalleled.”

Those players competing in the National Selection Game will not suit up for their club on game day to ensure proper rest and preparation. Players were selected for the game by ECNL Player Identification staff through a combination of scouting and recommendations based on performances from the past several months.
