Would it impact only the GA team at these clubs I guess since many clubs are also affiliated with USYS for their lower level teams.

I get why MLS Next could stay BY, becasue they have so much leverage being even more dominant on the boys side than ECNL is on the girls side but GA simply doesn’t have that leverage.

Seems like a total cluster which is why I am skeptical GA stays BY

MLSN has some leverage but not as much as they think and their player pool will cut in half and give ECNL the edge especially since slight preference of SY per surveys; and future RAE of the pipeline will all be SY. MLSN gains nothing by staying BY and it’s mainly current Q2-3 parents wish casting.

Keep wishing, MLSN already has biobanding. SY is irrelevant to them.

The guise of Biobanding won’t save the BY crazies. The landscape to u12 all SY and ECNL being a viable option to keep teams together under a reliable system, as opposed to a tenuous year to year windowing of players makes no sense. Come u13 MLSN will be sifting through B team players born from Feb-July.

We get that you have a youngers girl playing. But sorry the environment is different for boys especially older boys. Instead of fighting against something you dont understand spend some time researching MLS, MLS Next, and Acadamies in general. Once you do BY will make more sense.

Why don’t you educate us on your research?

Why dont you stop being lazy and educate yourself.

But I will drop some breadcrumbs for you. Basically once large amounts of money are involved in player selection and development things change and processes that are known to provide the highest levels of talent become more rigid.

Exactly, with boys the sky's the limit for what a top player can earn. To provide this Acadamies form knowing that only 1 in a 1000 players (if theyre lucky) they train will make it to the highest levels. If this happens the player and club/clubs that developed them will have money rained down. Im talking millions.

In the MLSN example of Acadamies top players go on to play professionally but ones that are close to being pro but not quite are colleges first choice for recruiting talent. These players are even more highly valued than the foreign washout academy players.

Theres no equivalent to above on the girls side so you think College soccer is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Also because you dont understand how high level boys development works you try to apply what youve seen on the girls side.

No, I've just been around youth soccer for over 10 years at almost all the different levels. Things I would have said or thought 10 years ago have completely changed. Unfortunately competitive parents are often hard headed and confident. They say and post things online that only apply in their bubble of whatever it my be.

This is the problem with things like groupings etc. Younger parents have one concept of how things should be setup. Older parents, coaches, club owners, and leagues likely have a completely different perspective.

You'll never get everyone on the same page which means there will always be complaints.

Biobanding Q4 kids is almost pointless for MLSN teams looking for an edge. Biobanding Q1s and 2s is where the payoff is for the weaker clubs trying to obtained n a level of competitiveness.

Sounds like you fell for an MLM marketing pitch. There is no payoff other than your kid remembering their childhood as fun or not. That's it. Youth clubs may hope for a lottery ticket but it isn't their business plan. Their best graduates are marketing for the next mark, not cash cows.

Trying again…

Have any of your clubs hinted at how they plan to make this change in fall 2026? We are at a club where existing players currently don’t try out - they are placed based on their performance throughout the year. What did those clubs do last time there was a big switcheroo?

MLSN does not need to use SY to achieve what ECNL targets for trap players. The biobanding player in our MLSN team is possibly April birthday, so about 20 months older than my son.
