The Colorado Rush Soccer Club is pleased to announce they’ll be joining the Girl’s Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) and Regional League (ECNL-RL) as a full member for the 2024-25 season.  This marks an extremely positive shift for the club as they partner with what could be the most competitive environment for girl’s soccer players across the country in arguably the most competitive conference (Texas).  Founded in 2009 from grassroots collaboration and innovation driven by youth soccer leaders all around the country, the ECNL quickly rose to national prominence – and ultimately to be the top level of competition and player development in the country. Each step was fueled by a shared commitment to elevating the youth soccer experience. 

Coupled with Colorado Rush’s rich history and admittance into the most competitive youth soccer league in the country, as well as aligning the girls and boys programing within the ECNL,  the Colorado Rush are truly excited for the future of the club.  Beginning this fall, the Colorado Rush will have the opportunity to compete against over 130 nationally recognized clubs as well as participate in several showcases throughout the country. 

“As an Original Founding Member of the Girls ECNL in 2009, Colorado Rush is excited and honored to be returning to the Girl’s Elite Club National League. The ECNL aligns with our holistic approach and focus of empowering strong and confident young female athletes, both on and off the field.  We are also excited to play more meaningful games with clubs around the country, as well as more localized competition within the Colorado market.  Colorado Rush has a rich history of producing professional, national team and collegiate players and the ECNL has an incredible track record of creating a competitive conference structure and national events that will benefit our players and provide enhanced and continued exposure to a vast scouting network.”-- Russell Finch, Colorado Rush Girls Academy Director

“Based on our club culture and the focus we have in our daily work with the players here at Colorado Rush, I am always excited for the opportunities we add for our players to experience more. More competition, more exposure, more meaning, and more success. This announcement is something that we believe will offer great benefit to our players top to bottom.” -- Jeff Carroll, Colorado Rush Girls DPL Director.
