U11 & U12 Pre-ECNL teams will play a separate full schedule throughout the year against other ECNL clubs in Utah. These opportunities will provide additional soccer on top of a player’s regular team training and games.

The simplest way to think of it is as a club “call-up” model, similar to a national team environment. U11 & U12 players from across the club will be invited to attend training sessions, camps, and selected games based on their readiness and development.

Participation is optional, and families may decline any invitation, especially if they choose not to take on the additional costs and commitments associated with those opportunities.

The player pools and teams formed for these events will remain fluid rather than permanent. The goal is to create extra opportunities for players who want more and are ready for more, without adding demands to those who prefer to remain focused on their current team commitments.

As the name suggests, the league is to prepare players and coaches to advance to the ECNL-RL at U13.
