Frequently Asked Questions Rosters Travel 16-20 Players The larger roster is due to the group playing in two leagues, both ECNL and NPL and the subsequent load of games ECNL showcases have a maximum of 18 players per roster, therefore there may be occasions where some players may not travel to specific events The vast majority of games are in Northern California with the furthest drive being to San Jose or Santa Rosa. The number of travel events is no more than what Red teams in the current non ECNL format currently participate in. Most ECNL events consist of one game per day. Travel to ECNL events will most likely require team travel meaning the team will fly and stay together. Fees $240 per month Club dues are all inclusive, and specifically covers all coaching expenses, club member training clinics, keeper training, field maintenance costs, Insurance, US Club registrations, referee expenses, tournament registration expenses, league registration expenses, and coach travel reimbursements Training Players are required to train 3 times per week.
