We’re excited to announce that Coastal Rush will be moving from the Florida ECNL Regional League to the Gulf Coast ECNL RL for the upcoming 2025–26 season. Over the past two years in the Florida ECNL-RL, our program has recorded over 200 victories, earned multiple state championships, and developed dozens of players now on the path to collegiate opportunities. We are incredibly proud of what our players, coaches, and families have achieved during this period. The Directors and Leadership team at Florida Club League have been outstanding and we appreciate all their leadership and support! This move to the Gulf Coast RL is a strategic decision that will benefit our players and families in multiple ways: 1. Improved Travel and Geographic Efficiency: The newly formed Gulf Coast division of ECNL RL includes clubs that are closer in proximity to Coastal Rush, reducing the burden of travel for families and allowing for more efficient scheduling. We expect this change to save our families thousands in travel costs. 2. Continued Access to Top-Level Competition: This division resembles the old NPL, however, it has been strengthened by the removal of lower-tier teams and the addition and/or growth of several top-level clubs. These changes should create a new and challenging environment for our players and coaches. 3. National League Showcase Access: ECNL has informed Coastal Rush that, in addition to attending Regional League showcases as we have done in the past, we have earned access to National League showcases for the 25/26 season. Also, ECNL leadership has indicated that we can expect an invitation to participate in the ECNL-RL Leaders Cup. (a new competition for the nation’s top-performing RL clubs) Coastal Rush will continue to ensure our older teams participate in high-level college recruiting events. NOTE: Coastal Rush has had over 80 players sign for college in the last 2 Seasons. 4. Stronger Alignment with ECNL Structure: ECNL has informed Coastal Rush that the Gulf Coast division better aligns our club for potential future promotion into the National League as ECNL expansion continues. While the league changes, our goals remain the same: to develop top-level talent, provide meaningful competition, and prepare our players for collegiate and beyond. We are grateful to our families, coaches, and partners for their ongoing support. We can’t wait for this next chapter in the Coastal Rush journey! Stay tuned for tryout dates, updated match schedules, and more info coming soon. You can visit the links below to see how our Coastal Teams are currently performing in the Florida RL League.
