Playing ECNL Regional League and State Cup alone won't get Division I offers unless coaches already know you. You need 2-3 months of consistent outreach: emails, videos, and camps. One player got recruited after 6-8 months of contact while playing in USNRL.
If I'm playing ECNL RL and we go to State Cup and the one that colleges go to called Showcases, is ECNL RL good enough to play Division 1? So the short answer is, unless you have genuine interest prior to those events, no. The Division 1 schools are not just going to show up to your game, pick you, go, wow, you're amazing, let me sign you. Of course it's technically possible, but it's not likely, and you're asking too many things to go in your direction. So the short answer is, if you're playing ECNL RL and you're going to State Cup, which college coaches don't really come to State Cup unless they're a local school, College Showcases, then they go to, of course, As long as you have genuine interest prior to, which takes about 2 to 3 months of consistent emailing with video and maybe going to their camps, then playing USNRL can totally— you can totally play Division 1 soccer. One of our players is at a school in Utah, Division 1 program, because he played USNRL and because we more messaged them with 6 to 8 months. I think what you guys underestimate is how long it takes for the coaches to remember you, hence why you need to email them video so often and know what to say each time. If you want more help, comment the word camp and I can send you a list of camps you should go to.
