| Anyone feel MLSN needs to be flexible on kids playing at least some HS games? MLSN p2p and even the academies to a large extent are glorified rec anyway as none of those kids are going pro. |
| No. Play ECNL, EDP or any of the alternatives available. Stop complaining. Markets correct themselves if MLS Next loses money by you leaving. Take action and stop complaining. |
| Are you an adult or a kid? "Glorified rec" and not going pro such juvenile language. But if for some reason you or your kid are involved do what you want. |
do what you want for your DS, p2p don't own you |
| Very insightful responses so far. |
I think it would be a good business decision and help retain better players for mls next. I have seen a few players every year that are top half of u14 and u15 drop down and play tier 2 or leave for ECNL so the can play HS ball. I don’t agree next is glorified rec ball but is true it is rare any of these kids go pro. |
| They aren’t? Our entire Varsity team at our private HS this Fall (minus just a few) are MLS Next players and they are not scholarship kids. |
Yep. So many liars and cheats. |
Same at ours and they aren’t even having a good HS season. lol |
Hence, MLSN being “glorified rec”. Most Parents of MLSN kids lose their sh!t over this realisation but doesn’t make it any less true. |
There’s a waiver for private school. |
| We play at NVA and plan on doing HS this spring. I wonder how Riverside and Lightridge are gonna pull it off when most of the squad is MLS next lol |
