MLSN has never cared about trapped players and has plenty of players for their limited number of teams. This isn't a concern for them.

If you pray MLSN stay in BY 8 times a day, it would be more helpful for your mental.

This is the new BY truthers statement they’ll hold on to.

We’ve come a long way.

Started with SY rumors ECNL was changing the age groups to 8/1. BY people saying that’s stupid they can’t do it without US soccer. To US soccer allowing leagues to choose and they’ve chosen 9/1.
To now BY people saying rumor is MLSN/GA staying BY and SY people saying you’re stupid they wouldn’t do that.

I do think it'll be interesting! MLS/GA clubs all play USYS with their littles. They could of course stay with birth year teams and play USYS anyway, nothing stopping them from doing they don't they will have a very weird problem at the U13 transition year.

And now you add in all the new MLSN2 clubs (where MLSN2 is their top level) who will have 90% of their teams in SY, who will have their 2nd teams in SY, and who will want to have their top teams compete in college showcases and tournaments (which will all be SY) and claim they will be BY? It is insane and not going to happen. At a minimum, MLSN2 will be SY. There is not a chance it goes BY.

It makes 0 sense to sit quietly like this unless they are planning some sort of change. Maybe they don't go full SY but surely something is up.

Why wouldn't they announce they're considering a switch to SY, don't know yet, or are switching to SY? Seems like they did announce they're staying BY. And they really don't have to announce anything if they're already on BY and don't plan on changing that.

Its really not that shocking. They've always been advocates for BY. They care about aligning with higher competition like academies and international pro pathways, not aligning with Cal North D teams.

Align with f**king what? Been with MLSN for 2 years, never play against any meaningful International team, except paying 5K to go to Mic cup.

The only bright spot in MLSN is my trapped player has meaningful training & games during HS soccer break, unlike his former ECNL teammates, who had almost nothing for 4 months.

Align with feeding the best players into academies on BY. Aligning with international competition and tournaments with international teams. Their mission is literally to be a pro development pathway. While not every MLSN team and player gets these opportunities, the best players do.

The MLSN technical director has stated that they have been missing the mark on developing the right players for the NT and MLS teams, I can't see them throwing a curveball to themselves, but who knows.

I'm interested in this topic but honestly don't care much. I have two young kids on both sides of the SY cutoff, and no ridiculous dreams of college ball or pro for them.

I just find it hilarious that people refuse to acknowledge valid arguments for GA and MLSN to stay BY, as MLSN has always advocated for. I see valid arguments for them to switch to SY too.

We'll see what happens and I won't be surprised either way. But MLSN is one of the reasons USSF punted the age change decision down to different leagues, and allowed flexibility as USSF stated. It's really not that hard to imagine reasons why MLSN would stay BY or change to SY. Yet people still refuse to accept both potential scenarios, lol.

You seem to be 100% certain on what will transpire. I'm not and open to either scenario. But it seems you may be the one who needs to mentally prepare yourself if your absolute certainty isn't accurate.

I don't think it had anything to do with what leagues wanted which registration. They just didn't want to get into another mandate situation, to allow reasonable flexibility extends beyond just 26/27 and absolves them from any decision making in the future.

F**king liars. We makes MLSN playoff, there may be 2/3 best players play trash D2/D3 schools and that is it.

MLSN staying BY is possible. But the logistical gymnastics required for 1/3 of all kids to skip their U12 year is MASSIVE and cannot be overestimated. A SY switch is possible but a very heavy lift.

These clubs are lazy. These clubs care about money. Put those two together and they will do what is easiest which fattens the bottom line. I don't see what GA gains by staying birth year and I don't get what MLSN gains by switching. More money on the boys side so I imagine these two will stay BY. Maybe GA adds a bio-band.

Here are my odds:
-200 MLSN stays BY
-150 GA stays BY but adds a bio-band exception.
+120 MLSN2 goes SY and MLSN stays BY
+300 MLS & GA switches to SY
