The five ECNL National Events per year are a big deal for both the players and the clubs.

For the players, it is a chance to play in front of dozens of college coaches at every game. For the teams, it is the opportunity to size up the competition from across the nation.

The next ECNL Event is only a few weeks away and many teams have already played their final games before the big showcase. Find out who is going into Sanford, Florida Event with a hot streak in this week’s ECNL recap.
