The Elite Academy offers EA2 within the EA Southwest Division and will eventually build out the EA2 in other divisions around the US. EA2 will provide a proving ground for clubs that aspire to join the Elite Academy League and mirror many of the standards that have helped the EA be a leading national player development platform in the US. The club with the highest PPG for their 6 teams (U13-U19) at the end of the season will be considered for promotion to the Elite Academy League for the following year. EA2 will also have a playoff structure for individual teams to be crowned champions of their age group, and clubs will also have access to take part in existing EA National Events.
