NC Courage Academy & NCFC Academy Named to Top 25 ECNL Clubs

Raleigh, NC (September 16th, 2024) – After strong performances in the 2023-24 season, NCFC Academy was ranked 6th in ECNL Boys, while NC Courage Academy was ranked 19th in ECNL Girls amongst all clubs. NCFC Youth was the only NC club to receive a Top 25 ranking on the boys side, and we were the top-ranked NC club on the girls side. Additionally, we were just one of a few clubs to receive a Top 25 ranking for both boys and girls.

"We knew that our NC Courage Academy and NCFC Youth Academy teams had a strong 2023-2024 collective season on the field – through league conference games won and post-season play and advancement, which earned each program points along the way. Seeing the final tallies now and having both our boys and girls academy programs ranked in the top 25 by the ECNL is a testament to our coaching staff, support staff, players and parents,” said Paul Forster, Director of Soccer. “It truly is a team effort, and these teams collectively earned this recognition through their commitment, dedication, and hard work on and off the field.”
