FRANKLIN, TN - The Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) has announced several changes over the past couple of weeks across the landscape of both ECNL and ECNL RL competition. A summary of those changes, along with any changes to TSC's structure, are detailed below. Change of “TSC Nike” Team Name Starting with the 2024-25 season, all “TSC Nike” level teams will now be “TSC ECNL RL.” As you know, we created the “Nike” team name prior to the implementation of the ECNL RL league. We believe it is a logical step to change the names so that they align with their ECNL RL league play, just as we have historically with our “TSC ECNL” teams. ECNL Girls Conference Information (new format) TSC ECNL girls will remain in the Ohio Valley for the 2024-25 season. There is no change in the teams from the 2023-24 season, however there is a change in format with the removal of the North and South Divisions. There will now be one league table of the 12 teams in the conference. Every team will play each other once. ECNL RL Girls Conference Information (new alignment) TSC ECNL RL girls will play in the newly formed Mid-America conference. Clubs represented in the Mid-America are: FC Alliance Germantown Legends Indiana Fire Lobos Rush Mississippi Rush Tennessee SC Tennessee United Tupelo FC Introduction of The ECNL Super Cup (new for TSC ECNL Girls in 2024-25) In addition to the conference realignment, there are also changes being made to the season’s format with the introduction of the ECNL Super Cup. The Super Cup is a conference-based, mid-season high level tournament. Teams that win the Super Cup will receive a direct bid to the ECNL Playoffs. Only TSC’s U13-U19 ECNL girls and U15-U19 ECNL RL girls will participate in the Super Cup in 2024-25. Super Cup Format Teams in TSC’s bracket, where group matches will occur: FC Alliance FC Pride Indy Eleven Winners of the each group will then compete in knockout match for a berth to ECNL Playoffs.
