RICHMOND, Va. – ECNL Boys announced the 2021-22 Conference Players of the Year and Club Competition All-Conference First and Second Teams across the league’s 12 conferences.

“The 2021-22 season was the most competitive season in the league’s history, with an exceptionally high level of performance from all of the players throughout the ECNL Boys,” said ECNL Boys Commissioner, Jason Kutney. “Being recognized as an All-Conference honoree or a Conference Player of the Year from such a large group of high-level players is a testament to their great ability, workrate, and attitude, and a clear acknowledgment of excellence.”

Honorees were selected by conference awards committees with technical representatives from every club in each of the ECNL Boys’ 12 conferences. The number of players selected was based upon the size of the respective conference.

Players that have been selected to their respective All-Conference First Team will also be eligible for selection to the ECNL Boys All-American teams, which will be announced later this month.
