The Elite Academy League offers EA2 within the EA Southwest Division and continues to expand the platform into additional regions across the United States, including the recent launch of EA2 Oregon.
As an extension of the EA pathway, EA2 provides a structured, standards-based environment designed to support clubs, teams, and players in their long-term development. It serves as a proving ground for clubs aspiring to join the Elite Academy League while mirroring the high standards that have established EA as one of the nation’s premier player development platforms.
Clubs competing in EA2 have a clear pathway for advancement, with the top-performing club across U13–U19 age groups (based on points per game) considered for promotion into the Elite Academy League for the following season. EA2 also features a structured playoff format for individual age group champions and provides access to select EA National Events.
With the addition of EA2 Oregon, the league continues to strengthen its national ecosystem—uniting clubs under shared standards, elevating competition, and expanding opportunities for player development across the country.
