The MLS Next brand is going to keep growing every year. More and more clubs will ditch ECNL and jump on the MLS Next train. NVA will be the first big club to make the switch. They'll become a powerhouse overnight. Sure, some ECNL girl parents might freak out at first, but in a couple of years, they'll see how smart NVA was for making this move to MLSN + GA.

It all comes down to which is the priority.....boys or girls?

Boys: MLSN > ECNL (or anything else)
Girls: ECNL > GA (or anything else)

Which program do you prioritize? If you can't do Boys MLSN/Girls ECNL (which is the ideal pairing) and you have to choose MLSN/GA or ECNL/ECNL, the answer for a club lies in their priority (or whichever has the higher $$$s).

You clearly dont get it.

NVA is playing the long game. They're looking two years down the road. If they think MLSN + GA will be the bigger deal than ECNL + ECNL, they'll make the switch. They're not thinking about what's best right now, they're thinking about what's going to be the winning move in the future.

No, you clearly don't. If you think for a minute they are doing this with the long-term interest of the kids/soccer versus the money, you really don't understand the landscape here. And if you think that the two-year horizon is long-term, then I have a bridge to sell you.

this is the truth. $top the bleeding of $$ by dangling a new carrot for the boys. Girls and attached families will suck it up and stay ad the other ecnl clubs are packed w starters.

But it's not a new carrot MLS Next has stated that they intend to expand by a lot. This is an opportunity for clubs to get involved with a league that will guarantee then several levels of boys teams which translates to $$$.

No. MLSNext is not expanding by a lot. They are creating what is essentially ECNL RL. Which, frankly, will be better than ECNL National.

Yawn- SYC has been doing this for ages (Next 2). That team doesn’t beat ECNL teams- sorry.

include SYC 2010 mls next, that team offense sucks.

Troll.. the SYC 2010 mls next team is the best team in the DMV after dc united

Best team for what? Kicking over the top. They are a huge, athletic roster. Does anyone think most of them will play for high level D1 teams? History at SYC says they won't. SYC always wins up until U17 and then when the size advantages are overtaken by game knowledge and skills on the ball...it's game over.

Compared to Alexandria, Arlington, etc? My college player was one of many from his u18/19 SYC squad. More commits than the other clubs.

Yeah. Quick check on the Soccer app shows SYC 2010 #4 in VA, 2011 team ranked #2 in VA, 2012 & 2013 teams ranked #1 in VA.

ECNL is a joke, but the response above, in light of SYC rankings for at least 4 age groups, shows the PP’s are too.

Best of showcase NVA 5 - Suckyc 0

NVA is Mediocre club in mediocre league.

More commits because better players chose to play for SYC. If those same players played for another club they would have the same commits. Stop giving the club credit. It’s the players not the club. It’s like giving a high school the credit for having one of their students get accepted to Harvard. The high school didn’t do anything different, it was just lucky that kid happened to go there.

That's a fine theory. Why, then, do better players choose to play for SYC?

No, you clearly don't. If you think for a minute they are doing this with the long-term interest of the kids/soccer versus the money, you really don't understand the landscape here. And if you think that the two-year horizon is long-term, then I have a bridge to sell you.

this is the truth. $top the bleeding of $$ by dangling a new carrot for the boys. Girls and attached families will suck it up and stay ad the other ecnl clubs are packed w starters.

But it's not a new carrot MLS Next has stated that they intend to expand by a lot. This is an opportunity for clubs to get involved with a league that will guarantee then several levels of boys teams which translates to $$$.

No. MLSNext is not expanding by a lot. They are creating what is essentially ECNL RL. Which, frankly, will be better than ECNL National.

Yawn- SYC has been doing this for ages (Next 2). That team doesn’t beat ECNL teams- sorry.

include SYC 2010 mls next, that team offense sucks.

Troll.. the SYC 2010 mls next team is the best team in the DMV after dc united

Best team for what? Kicking over the top. They are a huge, athletic roster. Does anyone think most of them will play for high level D1 teams? History at SYC says they won't. SYC always wins up until U17 and then when the size advantages are overtaken by game knowledge and skills on the ball...it's game over.

Compared to Alexandria, Arlington, etc? My college player was one of many from his u18/19 SYC squad. More commits than the other clubs.

The quality of college also matters. If you play for Frostburg State, it doesn't count the same as ACC or Ivy. Not all things are the same.

The MLS Next brand is going to keep growing every year. More and more clubs will ditch ECNL and jump on the MLS Next train. NVA will be the first big club to make the switch. They'll become a powerhouse overnight. Sure, some ECNL girl parents might freak out at first, but in a couple of years, they'll see how smart NVA was for making this move to MLSN + GA.

It all comes down to which is the priority.....boys or girls?

Boys: MLSN > ECNL (or anything else)
Girls: ECNL > GA (or anything else)

Which program do you prioritize? If you can't do Boys MLSN/Girls ECNL (which is the ideal pairing) and you have to choose MLSN/GA or ECNL/ECNL, the answer for a club lies in their priority (or whichever has the higher $$$s).

You clearly dont get it.

NVA is playing the long game. They're looking two years down the road. If they think MLSN + GA will be the bigger deal than ECNL + ECNL, they'll make the switch. They're not thinking about what's best right now, they're thinking about what's going to be the winning move in the future.

Agree, that's exactly why all those ACC schools are grabbing all those Euro guys. They don't even want American players anymore.

I think it's more for coaches free euro (scouting) vacations. Have a friend who's kid is playing for Penn + they said that the foreign Academy players aren't any better than American players.

That is simply not true. Just look at this year’s final between Marshall vs Vermont. The majority of the starters foreign players and it was a large majority!!!

These guys became power house programs literally overnight because they recruited better internationally lol

I'm sure it all comes down to who you recruit.

I followed Penn after that comment + agree with it. The foreign Acadamy players weren't better just older.

Isn’t NVA the largest club in NVA? Why is the boys-side so bad?

Starts with TD followed by crappy coaches. NVA wants to be pipeline but cant attract those elite players. These arrogant coaches need to understand is you have to develop a history of being able to develop players before elite kids will come here. Putting a pretty Audi logo on your uniforms isn't fooling anyone.
