ecnl regional league blue
The Elite Club Regional League (ECNL-RL) was designed to create a competitive platform for member clubs to service and develop a deeper player pool. The league resources allow clubs to provide more opportunities for players looking to play at a high level while aligning with the club ECNL standards.
Starting with the 2026-2027 season, Kansas Rush will have two teams competing in this platform. Our ECNL-RL Gold teams compete in the Heartland Conference, while our ECNL-RL Blue teams compete in the Frontier Conference.

elite club national league
The ECNL was founded in 2009 as a challenge to the status quo of youth soccer, with a vision to be better. In its first years, the league supported only girls programming, but that was to change.
As a result of grassroots collaboration and innovation driven by youth soccer leaders all around the country, the ECNL quickly rose to national prominence – and ultimately to be the top level of competition and player development in the country. Each step was fueled by a shared commitment to elevating the youth soccer experience.
From inception, the ECNL consistently developed in alignment with the needs of its member clubs, always seeking opportunities to lead and provide more, no matter the challenge or adversity. The four letters “ECNL” have become the embodiment of collaborative innovation, opportunity, respect, development, and excellence in youth soccer, as the once-radical idea of clubs having a voice to determine their future proved to produce results never before seen in youth soccer. Unrivaled numbers of female players, of constantly improving quality, began moving on to the collegiate, professional, and national team levels as the ECNL impact changed youth soccer.
Today, the ECNL represents the epitome of excellence in youth soccer, for boys and girls, as the league and its clubs, players, coaches, and everyone involved seeks to constantly “Raise the Game” for the future.
Kansas Rush will field six ECNL-RL Blue teams, including U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, and U19 teams that train three times a week and play a nationwide schedule in the Heartland West Conference.
