The ECNL College Impact series catalogs the huge impact the ECNL has had on college women's soccer in only five years of existence. The College Impact in the Big 12 and the Pac-12 have already been released, and today the ECNL's impact in the Big Ten is announced. In only five years, ECNL alums have become 50% of the Big Ten freshman class, and more than 50% of the entire conference overall. The Big Ten College Impact will continue to grow in the coming years, as 8 of 12 players in the 2013 Big Ten All-Freshman Team are ECNL alums.
Indiana Fire Academy South ECNL teams will compete in the Regional League of the prestigious Elite Clubs National League beginning with the 2022-2023 season. We will compete in the Great Rivers Conference with 9 other clubs from Indiana and Ohio.
Participation in ECNL teams is by tryout/invitation only. Our coaches are constantly working to identify the most talented players in our area and to promote talent towards the Indiana Fire Academy ECNL teams as DP players. ECNL participants have the chance to play against some of the toughest competitors, which allows players to develop soccer skills that may take them through college soccer and beyond.
Our ECNL teams begin at U13. Younger teams will begin competing by August, and usually participate in pre-ECNL events throughout the year. Our U15-U19 teams begin training in the late fall, with optional fall training for players who are not playing on their respective high school teams. The U15-U19 teams usually participate in two to three national showcases, which attract many college coaches from top schools.
Indiana Fire Academy South ECNL registration fees include 3x weekly training, a comprehensive college soccer recruiting package and all coaching and administrative costs involved in facilitating the program
