The ECNL is currently the preeminent collegiate recruiting platform in the country and since their beginning; the ECNL National Events (including the National Playoffs and Finals) have become ‘must attend’ evaluation opportunities for all college programs across the country. Consistently the National Events draw between 300-400 college coaches from all levels and due to Challenge’s unmatched collegiate placement history, it is not uncommon to see our sidelines packed with over 150 college coaches over a weekend.

Per ECNL rules, the U14 and U18 age groups attend one National Event in conjunction with their ECNL Texas Conference league schedule. The U15 age group will attend two National Events (plus the National Playoffs) and the U16 and U17 age groups will attend three National Events (plus the National Playoffs), as those are the primary recruiting ages.
