ECNL Spotlight Games: The U14 ECNL Spotlight Games are part of a collaboration between the ECNL and the US Club Soccer id2 Program to provide scouting-based identification opportunities for top ECNL and ECNL Regional League male and female players for youth national teams and beyond.
At each event, club directors of those attending will recommend their respective top-performing players to participate in each U14 Spotlight match. In addition to those recommendations provided by clubs, US Club Soccer and id2 will be on hand at each event, providing on-field scouting during the first day of each event to evaluate the talent present. Combining scouting results with club recommendations, US Club Soccer and id2 will then assemble the rosters for each U14 Spotlight game, creating an all-star game filled with the very best athletes in that age group.
Similar to Continental Tire National Selection Games, ECNL U14 Spotlight games will have a focus not only on superior on-field play but also a large-event experience for players and fans alike, with a live-stream broadcast and stadium setup.
The first ECNL Spotlight Games will be held this weekend at ECNL New Jersey with the girls game taking place at 5:15 PM EST and the boys game taking place at 7:00 PM EST, both at PDA Soccer Complex.
