XF Academy captures ECNL Boys 2024-25 Overall Championship + Top 25 Clubs

RICHMOND, VA – The ECNL announced that XF Academy has won the 2024-25 ECNL Boys Overall Club Championship, becoming the first club in ECNL Boys history to win the award in back-to-back seasons.

This honor is awarded to the club that earned the highest total points from regular-season conference games and performance at the ECNL National Playoffs and Finals. Winning this championship requires consistent excellence across all age groups throughout the season.

“Winning four national championships was unprecedented in ECNL Boys until XF Academy accomplished that feat this season, and it was more than deserved,” said ECNL Boys Commissioner Jason Kutney. “The ECNL Boys Overall Club Championship is the hardest award to win in the ECNL, and to do it in back-to-back seasons is even more difficult. Congratulations to everyone at the club for this tremendous achievement and for setting the standard in the ECNL.”

The club also finished first in the Northwest Conference in five of the six age groups and was one of eight clubs throughout the league to send a team to the ECNL Boys National Playoffs in every age group.
