Revisiting a deletion from 2015, the reasons for which have triggered a "speedy deletion" in 2022. Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) is now sufficiently noteworthy IMHO.
  1. The league has pretty much jettisoned the previous branding, relying on ECNL instead of the full name spelled out.
  2. ECNL now involves around 60,000 youth players in the USA at any given time. For girls aged 13-17 it is the top level of soccer competition in the USA. ECNL Girls is the primary pathway to women's Division I and professional soccer in the USA. Almost all US Women's National Team players spent years at ECNL
  3. ECNL is also starting to get a lot of scrutiny and and the public would benefit from a Wikipedia page covering the topic. For example, there is currently a major scandal being exposed in the National Women's Soccer League and many of the problems appear to have originated in ECNL.
  4. The structure of many youth sports in America is changing rapidly, for better or worse. National-level club leagues like ECNL are replacing high school sports as youth recruiting venues for universities and professional leagues.

  • Delete - no evidence of notability. Struggle to see how this league could call itself "elite". Fenix down (talk) 17:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Your 2015 point is noted. "Elite" may have been aspirational in 2015, but the league has grown its member players from 2,000 in 2009 to 60,000+. Also, it appears that the league itself recognizes that the connotation of the word "Elite" has changed from 2009 to 2022 and goes by ECNL. PeteWL (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
