🚨The data doesn’t lie. 📈 We crunched the showcase numbers for Division 1 programs over the last three seasons across the ECNL and Girls Academy to see exactly how the collegiate pipeline is flowing. ⚽️💨 Here is the reality of youth soccer recruitment right now: 1️⃣ EFFICIENCY MATTERS While both leagues are massive, showcase attendance varies. In the 24/25 season, ECNL events averaged 157 D1 programs per their 9 showcases, while the 5 GA events averaged 101. Both offer great exposure, but the concentration per event differs, the number of events differs and the opportunity to be seen is far superior in the ECNL.It is important to note that we tracked D1 PROGRAMS so at some events a program would bring their whole coaching staff but that would count as one Program as that was the easiest way to compare. You will see some of the leagues say, “We have 600 coaches attend which is every college level and every coach”. We tracked this data directly from the ECNL and Girls Academy provided data. 2️⃣ THE POWER 4 PATHWAY When looking specifically at Power 4 commitments for the Classes of '26 and '27, the ECNL currently holds about 74-77% of that market share, with the GA securing a strong ~17%. 3️⃣ THE LANDSCAPE HAS SHIFTED Forget the old narratives. The ECNL (128 elite clubs) and the Girls Academy Elite Tier (127 elite clubs) are now virtually identical in scale and number of players. We have two massive national platforms where 90% of all D1 players in the United States are recruited. Across the 349 D1 programs, based on data from the Class of 2026, the ECNL is leading the way with over 70%, the Girls Academy is at 20% and remaining comes from the ECNL-RL (5%) and USYS/Other (5%). THE BOTTOM LINE: National Showcases are the primary stage where D1 and Power 4 programs identify top talent as they want to see players 3-6 times against high level competition. If you want greatly increase your chances play at the D1 level, being on these fields is a requirement. Get seen. Get recruited. 🎯 WHICH STAT surprises you the most in the 8 slides below?
