ECNL Full Pathway

Napa United is a proud member of ECNL Boys, the nation's leading elite player development platform. Founded in 2009, ECNL represents the highest level of boys soccer competition, training, and personal development opportunities available in the U.S.

While winning games will always be important, Napa United & ECNL believe success is measured by the growth and development of every individual – becoming a better player, growing as a person, attending college, and playing at higher levels are the true benchmarks of their success.

ECNL Boys is the nation's leading youth soccer development platform, with more than 170 clubs competing across 15 conferences nationwide. Napa United will join the Northern Cal Conference for the 2026-27 season.

Napa United will provide players on-field training, strength and conditioning sessions, weekly video analysis, & college recruitment programs.

Our ECNL teams will participate in a year-round competitive schedule, including league matches, showcases, and playoffs across U13-U19 age groups. ECNL Boys also provides a national pathway to elite college and professional soccer through high-level conference competition, postseason play, and signature national events like the ECNL Boys Super Cup.
