The Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) partnership with Hudl will bring together ECNL video and data on one connected platform.
As the Official Video Analysis, Exclusive League Exchange and Official Automated Capture Solution of ECNL, Hudl’s extensive list of Professional and Collegiate customers will now be able to access all available content for all ECNL National and Super Cup events via Wyscout - the world’s largest global soccer video and stats database.
Since launching in 2009, the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) has grown from 40 clubs in its inaugural season to more than 240 clubs and 70,000 players across the Girls and Boys ECNL in 2021. The league’s growth and success stems from prioritizing the experiences of players, coaches and clubs above all else, while always looking to innovate and raise standards within the game.
This unrelenting pursuit of excellence and desire to provide member clubs with a competitive advantage led ECNL and Hudl to form a long-term partnership. The two organizations will have a comprehensive relationship focusing on leveraging technology to benefit the league, clubs, parents and athletes.
In addition, ECNL game video and data from showcase events will be made available for scouting and recruitment, providing next level premier content to highlight players and showcase them to the top colleges, university and professional clubs worldwide.
Mike Willard, Hudl Director of Elite Sales for North America explained the value of this deal:
“Democratizing access to youth content is a key objective for Hudl and this partnership between two progressive organizations is a perfect fit, allowing ECNL players to showcase their talents through the worlds largest database of soccer video and stats to the top colleges, universities and professional clubs worldwide.”
For ECNL President Christian Lavers, this deal is all about having the best tools at hand to develop soccer at Collegiate level.
“We are tremendously excited to partner with Hudl in a long-term relationship that brings ECNL clubs and players best-in-class video analysis, capture and recruiting services," said Lavers.
"These technologies and services will help educate, develop, and showcase players across the league as they pursue their goals to play collegiate and professional soccer.”
