ECNL has to wait until everyone’s tryout window time is over.

Be ready it’s coming.

I hope this is a real thing! Let’s go! Get it implemented now in what ever way, no need to drag it out

That's really the only goal here - 1000. Also, you're speculating that GA will announce anything in May.

One more closer to 1000!

Do we know what NAL is doing? (BY or SY)

MLSN2 and GA will bring in a late developer waiver. Sounds like it will start next year. They are still ironing out the details but it sounds like it will be similar to biobanding but will favor later month born players. Also how many each team can use.

A January kid can apply but must be tiny compared to a December kid who it sounds like will automatically be approved. Again detains and wording still being worked on.

Our Club will be MLSN2 and then NAL, with flexibility to move between the two. I don't see how that would work if one is BY and the other SY.

My kid's club is on the MLSN/GA side and what we've heard is conflicting things from we're switching to SY to they haven't decided.

But as far as flexibility is concerned, some clubs will practice/scrimmage close age groups together, so I think they'd just view it as a larger player pool and develop players to play a certain club style (and not just kickball, btw), where they could play on multiple teams (which if successful makes them better players).

Clearly a death blow for leagues the past 9 years…I mean nobody even knows what soccer is after age 13 anymore…

BY advocates will be going into meltdown mode then. They thought they had one more year.

You’re an idiot. Why do you keep the “us vs them” thing going? The kids are all on the same teams and you’re not on it…your kid is. Are you so vicariously resentful of other kids success that you blame your kid for the birth month 9 months after you conceived? Get a grip.

the salt is real

I posted it, and I’m a SY supporter. It’s not salt dipstick. It’s calling out the lunacy of your inferiority complex. It’s so weird that you own kid triggers the complex in you make us v them birth month posts on an anonymous message board. Seek therapy.

It’s not. Academies and Clubs are all in the same league. It’s all MLS regardless.

MLS has made it fairly clear that they don’t intend to change - hence why USSF gave 2 options - one for rec and ECNL, and one for MLSN.

What’s so fascinating to me is that now we have the SY option for ECNL, why have so many of my fellow SY folks convinced themselves that EVERYONE needs SY and that only if MLS / GA go SY will they survive…

At first we wanted it for the trapped kids in ECNL and now we want everyone else to do it too?

The academies will embrace it too, especially if they can make money off of transfer fees to the premier league.

They can’t which is why Academies in MLS are losing a ton of money each year

Why not just switch to 9/1?

How funny if GA/MLSN go 8/1.

I think it's just a question of the logistics of having two different registrations, if MLS has it figured out, good on them. They will have to shift with the changing landscape just like everyone else, no one will be immune.
