This weekend the ECNL Boys head to Virginia for the final national event of the 2025-26 regular season, ECNL Virginia (May 23-25) at River City Sportsplex. The three day event will feature 142 teams from the U15-U17 age groups.

The weekend will be highlighted by Saturday's Continental Tire ECNL National Selection Game. The game will kickoff at 6:00 PM from River City Sportsplex and can be live streamed here.

The Continental Tire ECNL National Selection Games are "all-star" matches that bring top players at each regular season ECNL National Event together for representative competition on the first day of the event. They are one component of the ECNL National Selection Program, which encompasses all player identification and development programs within the league. 

Players were selected for the games by ECNL Player Identification staff through a combination of scouting and recommendations based on performances over the past several months. These athletes will not compete for their clubs on this day in order to properly rest and prepare for the National Selection Game.
