Background
The ECAL came about from a desire for some LIJSL clubs and non-LIJSL clubs to have additional competition against one another while keeping travel to a reasonable distance. When IberCup approached the League about working together we thought this would be a good opportunity to bring these clubs together in an exciting competition with a fantastic opportunity for the winning teams.
Entry & Competition
To start the competition off, the League has invited clubs to enter high-level teams that they feel would be successful in this environment. Boys and girls teams will play up to nine (9) games between December 2024 and April 2025 in the U11 and U12 age groups. The winner in each of these groups will go forward to take part in the IberCup in Portugal in July 2025. There is no cost for the tournament, room and board, and transportation while the teams are at the tournament. The only cost to the teams will be flights to and from Portugal.
