    THE ECNL COLLEGE IMPACT

    BIG 12 Conference



    RICHMOND, VA (September 29, 2014) –The Elite Clubs National League was created in 2009 with the mission to enhance the developmental experience of the best female youth soccer players in the United States, and by doing so improve and raise the level of female soccer at all levels. In only 5 years, the ECNL has quickly grown to become the top youth female league in the world.

    While the impact of the ECNL is primarily felt at youth levels, the ECNL has had a significant and growing impact on every level of the sport. ECNL players cover US Soccer youth national team rosters, and even more ECNL alums are now dominating the Division I college soccer landscape.

    The ECNL mission condensed into three words is “Elevate the Game.” Since 2009, it has provided the opportunity for more players to reach their dreams on and off-the field. On-the field, the “ECNL player” has become the epitome of the next generation of collegiate soccer players.

    The ECNL is introducing "ECNL College Impact." The ECNL College Impact can be measured by the number of ECNL alums that have moved on to collegiate soccer, and the increase in this number every year since the league’s inception. The ECNL College Impact highlights the ECNL’s effect on collegiate athletic conferences all over the United States – and begins with the Big 12 Conference.

    The Big 12 Conference stretches from Texas to Iowa, and east to West Virginia. The Big 12 includes Baylor University, Iowa State, Kansas University, Kansas State University, Oklahoma University, Oklahoma State University, Texas Christian University, the University of Texas, Texas Tech University, and West Virginia University. 1

    The ECNL College Impact for the Big 12 includes the past 5 freshman classes – the freshman who began their college careers in the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 collegiate athletic seasons. In only 5 years of the ECNL:
    •149 ECNL alumni are currently playing in the Big 12 Conference.
    •Nearly 60% of the players in the Big 12 Conference are ECNL alums.
    •The number of ECNL alums in the Big 12 freshman class has grown every year - to 51 players in 2014’s class.
    •The percentage of ECNL players in the Big 12 freshman class consistently grew from 46% of the class in 2011, to 65% of the freshman class in 2014.
    •7 Players on the 2013 Big 12 All-Newcomer Team are ECNL alumni.
    •9 Players on the 2013 Big 12 First Team and Second Team are ECNL alumni.

      When was the last time any Stars ECNL team won a national championship at any age?

        who said anything about the Stars winning anything.
        Tough to argue against facts. Look at the freshman ECNL numbers in each of these articles.

          Are these statistic supposed to prove somehow that the Stars are a better organization than every other club in the state? For once I would like someone to explain the direct link they are trying to make. Here is another more relevant stat, 99.99% of the players that have played in the ACC, PAC 12, Big 10, Big 12 conferences over the last 10 years have NOT come from a Massachusetts based soccer club.

            Who said anything about the stars. Data goes to the credence that ECNL is the strongest league for girls soccer.

              LOL. BTDT totally freaking out because of someone having the nerve to post something positive about ECNL. All these consecutive days of frenetic, serial posting and somehow this happens. Make sure you keep that hotline number on you at all times.

                Before you make that statement you might want to break those stats down a little bit more and zero in where in the ECNL those players are coming from. Generally speaking they are coming from only a handful of the top ECNL clubs. In this region that club is PDA and not really any of the local clubs. Those numbers really support the criticism that the ECNL is a league that is not terribly balanced and where you have some tremendously strong clubs but the bulk of the other much weaker clubs are just riding their shirt tails.

                    Too funny, are you now claiming that he started this thread too or are you just upset because the obvious pro-Stars spin is starting to look stupid under the weight of facts?

                      ACC-9 of the 11 players in the 2013 ACC All-Freshman team are ECNL alums, including the Freshman of the Year.

                      Big Ten-The 2013 Big 10 All-Freshman Team includes eight ECNL alumni, and the 2013 Goalkeeper of the Year, Defender of the Year, and Midfielder of the Year are from ECNL clubs.

                      Pac -12-The Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and 9 of 11 players on the 2013 Pac-12 All-Freshman Team are ECNL alumni.

                      Big 12-7 Players on the 2013 Big 12 All-Newcomer Team are ECNL alumni.

                        Let's get this straight. When you start up an obvious pro-Stars thread and post some highly suggestive, but largely unrelated, information that's OK and no one is supposed to challenge the yellow journalism. Yet if anyone even remotely questions the information or that linkage it is an attack on the Stars. It is also an attack on the Stars to discuss different club philosophies when they don't agree with the Stars because that is an "agenda." What a country.

                          How many of them played for either the Stars or Breakers? Fast forward. How many of the current Stars or Breakers players project to be one of those players recognized like that in the future?

                            You're right, BTDT. You are doing a fine job.

                            But I'm curious, do you ever wonder about what you are doing and how much time you have devoted to this? And before you simply dodge and turn the question around, I'll tell you advance "Yes, I do."

                              I'm really starting to wonder about what Perspective's true game is here. Everything he basically does ends up showing that the Stars in a negative light. Think about it.

                              Suzy.. who cares about the author, the message in the post was accurate and damaging. He must have reposted it is at least a hundred times, why?

                              Recruiting.. his message is that the Stars shouldn't' be expected to support their players college aspirations. Who really buys that, all he is doing is making it plain that the Stars don't do what other clubs do do. Why?

                              This thread .. his message is that the ECNL produces the majority of the high level college players. The fact that the Stars aren't putting many players into those leagues with any regularity highlights their lack of success. Why?

                              He seems to be pointing fingers at a lot of people here but what he is really pointing at are a lot of the Stars problems. Is everyone so sure he is an ally of the Stars? Strikes me more as a Benedict Arnold.

                                Sorry, I am not Perspective. Just wanted to show the strength of the league. This has nothing to do with Stars or Scorpions.
