One Elite National Premier League (ENPL) title has already returned to New England in 2019, as NEFC’s U-19 team hoisted a trophy in early July out in Rockford, Ill.
Come July 11-15 in Commerce City, Colo., three teams from the region will hope to add to the haul, including GPS Massachusetts Elite Red 02, last year's U-16 ENPL winners.
The U-17 group, coached by Andy Prosser, is hoping to repeat after qualifying into the final eight. They’re drawn into Group B alongside teams from California, Texas and New York, entering as the squad everyone else wants to dethrone.
