The FC Wisconsin U11 and U12 Pre-ECNL Program is the preparatory step between the Academy Program and the club's ECNL Club Competition or Regional Competitive Programs. 

The Pre-ECNL Program has training locations in both Milwaukee and in Madison.  Players from both sites combine to form teams for competition throughout the year. 

The focus in the Pre-ECNL Program is on individual development - specifically in continuing teaching technical skill and understanding with the ball, and decision-making in small groups.  Over the course of the year, the U11 and U12 teams have approximately 30 games and 110 training sessions throughout the fall, winter, and spring.  This ratio of training to games is deliberately selected to maximize development and learning in these critical developmental age groups.
