Isn't that what people above are saying will be so great in MLS Next 2? |
This seems setup for failure. They know they cant say no HS soccer if you do MLSN2 as they would lose all their players, but they want to try to hold onto the idea that they will train and play club for a ten month season. In NC, they play 2-3 HS games per week, making club practices with more than a handful available any weeknight almost impossible. In some states, they don't allow players to touch a field to even train with club during HS season. Not sure how they are going to expect clubs to play some league games during HS season. |
Despite the fixation of clubs here bent on prohibiting children playing for their HS, boys and girls alike make no compromise to have an outside entity dictate what they can or can’t do. Will clubs cave in or are players going to actually have to pick one or the other? |
There are MLSNext clubs that won’t let their players play in HS and the players almost always pick MLSNext. Which makes sense if you’re a serious soccer playing looking to play in college. |
Have to say, while we've heard next to nothing about what the season entails, was a little surprised to see our club post 4x/week training during NC HS season. Ours is a mix of NC and SC players, probably 75/25, so I get they need to have some matches during each HS season, but 4x/week training for 10 months sounds very different than what other NC clubs like Triangle United are saying about MLSN2 on their website. Now that MLS Next Cup is over, clubs need to get on the ball and communicate - we're a dang month away from practice starting! |
MLSNext actually prohibits playing HS, and agree for the serious players, its not an issue. But I think MLSN is overreaching. Just the expansion of MLSNext to so many more teams is going to whittle down how many teams truly have players who want to forgoe HS soccer. Then you try to expand that to the hundreds of new teams in MLSN2? Most of those kids are not goign to play in college, and asking them at a second tier to skip HS soccer is an asinine business model. |
MLSN2 is not MLSNext. And if kids are on a 2 team and are told no HS. MLSN2 will be a league |
RL is trash. Hence why its falling apart |
Just to be clear, we all know that MLSNext 2 allows players to play in HS right? That’s confirmed, I read it somewhere, an interview or in an faq |
Serious soccer players aren’t interested in playing in college. They want to go pro. |
I don’t disagree but if ur a responsible parent, u make sure that college continues to be an option or a backup plan. |
MLS NEXT New Tier does not prohibit players from playing school ball. Individual clubs may apply the prohibition on their own. If MLS NEXT New Tier players are hoping to move up to MLS NEXT Old Tier they should not plan to play school ball. How much roster movement there is between "tiers" remains to be seen and will vary club to club. |
What’s new tier and old tier? |
She is saying 'new tier" because its embarrassing to her to type out "MLS Next B Team" or "MLS Next Division 2" |
Did they ever decide on an official name for the B teams? |
