ECNL RL Boys 2026/27 Registration
Players interested in participating in Louisiana Elite ECNL RL Boys are invited to attend our two-day tryouts.
The tryouts are designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of each player, allowing our Louisiana Elite coaching staff to evaluate athletes based on ability and long-term development potential. In addition to the session itself, team depth charts and ongoing player evaluations throughout the year will also play a role in final placement decisions.
Players must register and attend the first tryout under the new School Calendar Year format (Aug 1 – July 31). Players then have the option to register and attend the second session in the Birth Calendar Year format. Team placement will be at the discretion of the Louisiana Elite Soccer Program staff.

How the Player Placement Process Works
Upon registration, each player will be assigned a number for evaluation purposes. Throughout the session, players will move through a structured training progression while being assessed by our coaching staff.
Evaluations are based on the five key components of player development:
- Technical Ability – Overall skill proficiency
- Technical Speed – Ability to execute skills at game speed
- Tactical Application – Understanding of space, movement, decision-making, and combination play
- Physical Attributes – Speed, strength, and ability to compete on the ball
- Psychological Dimensions – Competitiveness, work ethic, coachability, and interaction with teammates
Each player is evaluated by Louisiana Elite coaches and assigned a rating (1–6), which corresponds to team groupings and small-sided game fields. Final team placement is determined using a combination of these ratings and detailed coach feedback.
What Happens Next
Following the tryouts, families will receive an email with their player’s tryout results. At that time, you will be asked to accept or decline the assignment.
Please note:
Placement is not finalized until registration and team fees have been completed.
