ECNL RL – Twin Cities

Manitou Futbol Club ECNL RL – Twin Cities Teams

Launched in 2009 with a bold mission to reshape youth soccer, the ECNL set out to raise the standard of competition and development. Originally focused on girls’ programs, the league’s scope would soon expand.

Through a nationwide effort led by passionate leaders in the sport, the ECNL rapidly gained recognition and grew into the premier platform for elite youth soccer in the U.S. Every milestone along the way has been driven by a united goal: to create a stronger, more impactful experience for young athletes.

At Manitou FC, we participate in ECNL RL for age groups U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, and U19. Additionally, our Future Manitous Pre ECNL RL program starts at U8 – U10.

Reasons to Participate in ECNL Regional League:
Joining the ECNL Regional League (ECNL RL) offers Manitou FC a strategic pathway to enhance player development and gain national recognition. As an extension of the Elite Clubs National League, the ECNL RL provides a competitive and structured environment that bridges the gap between local play and elite national competition.

Competitive Advancement: Engage in high-caliber matches that challenge players and prepare them for top-tier competition. The ECNL RL serves as a stepping stone to the ECNL, offering promotion opportunities based on performance.
Enhanced Player Development: Access to a consistent and professional environment fosters technical and tactical growth, aligning with the league’s focus on nurturing talent.
College Recruitment Exposure: Participate in showcase events attended by college scouts, increasing visibility for aspiring collegiate athletes.
Regional Focus: Compete within geographically structured divisions, minimizing travel demands while maintaining a high level of competition.
Year-Round Play: Benefit from a comprehensive schedule that includes both fall and spring seasons, ensuring continuous development opportunities.

GIRLS WPSL U17+

INTRODUCTIONPROGRAM DETAILS

Manitou FC’s player pathway provides for female athletes who are looking to compete on a senior amateur level within the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL). Competing within the Northern Conference, players age U17-U19 and older (college age) are eligible for team selection. Home games are played at the athletic complex at White Bear Lake High School North Campus.

Since its establishment in 1998, the Women’s Premier Soccer League has been the pinnacle platform for advancing player development in the United States at the amateur level. Through its 25-year history, the WPSL has grown into a leading advocate for women’s soccer by creating multiple avenues for developmental opportunities, including the WPSL International Combine and the WPSL U21 league.

As of 2023, the WPSL is still the longest-active women’s soccer league in the United States and with a membership of 130 teams, it’s also the largest women’s soccer league in the world. Its national footprint stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific and down to the Gulf with teams in 31 of the 50 U.S. states. The WPSL holds a 15.7% annual growth rate and has averaged 31 expansion teams each season since 2016.

Adhering to its mission of providing the highest level of development opportunities, WPSL team rosters consist of elite female players from collegiate, post-collegiate, international, and standout prep athletes. The average age of a WPSL player is 20.7 years old. Sixty-nine percent of WPSL players are rostered on teams from their hometown’s metro area and 92% of the WPSL’s collegiate athletes play for NCAA member institutions.

Notable alumnae who’ve honed their talents in the WPSL include NCAA All-Americans, MAC Hermann Trophy recipients, Hall of Fame Inductees, Olympic Medalists, World Cup Winners, NWSL Champions, and Ballon d’Or recipients.

The WPSL is sanctioned by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) – an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the ruling body of soccer in the United States.
