Storm to join boys “Elite National Premier League
Building on the growing excitement for the inaugural season of the Boys ENPL and the first ENPL Play-Offs, the initial clubs of the Boys ENPL Texas Conference have been announced today. The Boys ENPL Texas Conference adds a fourth conference to the Boys ENPL, continuing the momentum generated by the earlier announcements of the Southeast Conference, Northeast Conference, and Midwest Conference. A holistic and collaborative club-based development program, the Boys ENPL will feature regular season conference competition and regular season cross conference events for its member clubs. Qualifying teams from the Boys ENPL, based on regular season performance, will advance to the post-season championship of the ENPL, along with qualifiers from various National Premier Leagues across the country. The ENPL, formed in collaboration between the ECNL and selected US Club Soccer National Premier Leagues will be the top boys’ competition sanctioned by US Club Soccer.
“The Colorado Storm are extremely excited to be part of the inaugural season of the Boys ECNL and the ENPL. The overwhelming success our girls’ side has experienced with the ECNL gives us great confidence that our boys’ program will benefit from the same professionalism, accountability, and commitment to quality that has made the ECNL a driving force in player development. This is a major step forward for youth soccer development in our country.” -- Jeff Rogers, High School Boys Director Colorado Storm
