Three Springs SC Boys Teams Advance to ECNL Regional League South Playoffs

2013B Elite, 2012B Elite, and 2011B Elite punch their tickets to Greensboro after standout regular seasons in the South Division.

Springs Soccer Club is proud to announce that three of our boys teams have officially clinched their spots at the 2026 ECNL Regional League South Playoffs, set for June 19–24 in Greensboro, North Carolina. The 2013B Elite, 2012B Elite, and 2011B Elite squads will represent the club on the regional stage after standout campaigns in one of the most competitive youth soccer environments in the country.

A Standard-Setting Season

Across the three age groups, Springs SC compiled a combined regular-season record of 31 wins, 2 losses, and 8 draws, conceding just 27 goals across 41 matches — a defensive standard that defined the club's identity all year.

2013B Elite (U13)
South Division Champions — 11-1-2
52 GF · 9 GA · +43 GD · 35 pts · 2.50 PPG
2012B Elite (U14)
South Division Champions — Undefeated · 11-0-2
38 GF · 9 GA · +29 GD · 35 pts · 2.69 PPG
2011B Elite (U15)
South Division Runners-Up — 9-1-4
33 GF · 9 GA · +24 GD · 31 pts · 2.21 PPG

The 2012B Elite capped their year without a single loss, finishing with a league-best 2.69 points per game. The 2013B Elite posted the highest goal differential of any Springs SC team this season at +43, while the 2011B Elite built their case on defensive discipline — surrendering just nine goals across the entire schedule.

From the Director of Soccer Programming

This is a moment of pride for our entire club. Three teams advancing to the ECNL-RL South Playoffs reflects the daily work our players put in, the standards our coaches uphold, and the commitment of our families. We've always believed in developing players the right way — through competition, through structure, and through belief. Greensboro is the next chapter, and our boys are ready to write it.
— Roger Thomas, Director of Soccer Programming

What's Next
