Coastal Rush Pre-ECNL Program
The Coastal Rush Pre-ECNL Program is designed to identify and bring together the top-performing U12 (2014 birth year) players across all Coastal Rush locations. This developmental initiative provides a unique opportunity for players who are on the path toward high-level competition to train and compete with others on a similar trajectory.
Selected players will participate in additional monthly training sessions and represent Coastal Rush in competitive events — all while continuing to train and compete with their home clubs.
Why Join the Pre-ECNL Program?
This program is ideal for motivated, high-achieving players who aspire to be part of our ECNL RL or Coastal Showcase teams in the future.
Benefits include:
- Elite Training Environment: Players will train weekly with a select group of top talent from the Gulf Coast under experienced Coastal Rush staff coaches.
- Accelerated Development: Training will follow a curriculum designed to prepare players for the next level of play, focusing on technical mastery, tactical awareness, and mental readiness.
- Broadened Competition: Players will compete together in selected events, gaining valuable experience outside their usual home club play. The plan is 2-3 per year.
- No Conflict with Home Club: All sessions are scheduled to complement, not replace, your child’s home club schedule. Players continue with their primary team while receiving additional exposure and development.
