Out of a total 40 clubs from across the country that participated in the ECNL 2009-10 Season, Charlotte Soccer Academy finished 11th in the club rankings.

"This was a great first year for Charlotte Soccer Academy and our club ranking in the ECNL is another example of this," states ECNL Director Adam Denton. "Each of our 92, 93 and 94 teams have competed very well in each of their divisions at the various events playing against some of the best clubs in the country. Each one of our CSA teams final placement has a point value and these points are combined for your clubs total. 11th is a great showing based on the clubs that are in this league. Next season will be even tougher as the league has expanded to 52 teams but the staff are already working towards season two and we hope to improve on this standing. I would like to thank the staff, players, parents and volunteers that have all worked to make this season a great success."

CSA teams attended four ECNL events through the course of the 2009-10 Season. These were the Final Four Showcase in College Station, Texas in December, The Disney Showcase in Orlando, Florida in December, The Las Vegas Showcase in March and the ECNL National Championships in Seattle, Washington. The 94 CSA ECNL team finished 12th in Challenge "A", the 93 CSA ECNL team finished 14th in Challenge "A" and the 92 CSA ECNL team finished 18th in Challenge "A". With CSA finishing 11th out of 40 clubs in the ECNL Club Standings the 95 Team will also be placed in the Challenge "A" flight for next season.

"Our whole ECNL experience this year has been fantastic," states ECNL Director Adam Denton.

Each of our players have developed in soccer and as a person due to the experiences this year. By the end of the week the ECNL will tally up all the points for each club and have a club standing along with each teams overall record and final standings. We are looking forward to seeing the results of this year and working with our players to continue to improve for next year. Next season the ECNL will have 52 Clubs participating and CSA is looking forward to more great competition next season."
