Rise Elite
Birth Years: 2008 (U13) - 2004/03 (U18/19)
RISE Elite is the highest competitive level of programming we offer. The Elite Program is incredibly rewarding but tremendously demanding. RISE Elites must demonstrate the highest level of commitment to training at all times in order to maintain physical and mental readiness for competitions as roster positions and playing time are 100% earned on merit and never guaranteed. Elite teams are formed from the strongest players across our entire player pool and require a yearly commitment.
The Elite program at RISE consists of 3 leagues that sit at the top of the soccer development pyramid for every top club in the United States. The Girls Academy (GA), Boys MLS NEXT, and the Boys Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) provide top level national competition platforms for elite youth athletes in the country. The purpose of these platforms is to provide a player-centric environment, meaningful games, high standards that member clubs are required to adhere to, and most importantly to maximize player opportunity and visibility. RISE Elite teams follow a highly challenging and intricately designed curriculum aimed at preparing players for top college programs, professional trials or opportunities with national teams.
Why RISE Elite
