Eclipse Players on National Rosters – Elite Clubs Edition, Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Featuring 5 Elite Players from the [program_tooltip program_id='283326' first='Eclipse' last='Select'] Soccer Club in Illinois</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>USE THE PROMO CODE almasin30 for a discount on your first subscription</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's Part 1 of the Elite Clubs Edition.&nbsp; Most clubs would love to send one of their players to a national team, but with the [program_tooltip program_id='283326' first='Eclipse' last='Select'] Soccer Club, they have 5 players representing 4 different countries.&nbsp; Two represented the United States, one with Mexico, another with Puerto Rico, and the 5th player with the Wales senior national team.&nbsp; That's correct, four with the youth national teams and one representing a senior national team, while earning her first CAP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The [program_tooltip program_id='283326' first='Eclipse' last='Select'] Soccer Club is definitely a model program, as it also sends their players to top-level Division 1 soccer programs as well.&nbsp; Many of their teams are also fixtures at the ECNL National Playoffs and compete for the highest honors in the ECNL system.&nbsp; I've covered a few of their players in previous articles, but I must say that this group of players will probably produce 3-4 future pro players.&nbsp; I will continue to give updates on their soccer journey and see how far they can go.&nbsp; For this Fantastic Five, the sky's the limit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Featured Players:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.
