ECNL Boys Top 25 Clubs honored from 2023-24: Crossfire Academy takes No. 1 spot

RICHMOND, Va. – The ECNL announced that Crossfire Academy has won the 2023-24 ECNL Boys Overall Club Championship. This honor is awarded to the club that earned the highest total points from regular-season conference games and performance at the ECNL National Playoffs and Finals. Winning this championship requires consistent excellence across all age groups throughout the season.

Crossfire captured the U18/19 ECNL Boys National Championship this summer in San Diego and also qualified three of their teams (U16, 15, and U14) for the ECNL Boys National Finals in Richmond, Virginia. In addition to their postseason success, Crossfire finished either first or second in every age group of the ECNL Boys Northwest Conference this season.

“The ECNL Boys Overall Club Championship is the most difficult award to win in the ECNL,” said ECNL Boys Commissioner Jason Kutney. “Having teams at every age that are among the best in the region and country reflects the work of many people, over many years. Congratulations to everyone at the club on this tremendous achievement.”
