This lady's "MLS NEXT Old Tier" sun visor might be on a little too tight.

Whats sad is all the clubs whose top team is MLS Next G League but they are pretending its the real thing. Its fine to play in any league you want but be honest about it.

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?

Why do you assume it is a she? In our home I’m the primary parent involved in soccer and I am the mom. However, I can tell you that the divide among boys teams about 80% Dads, 20% Moms. Your bias is showing. I also want to let you know that it’s not embarrassing to have a child playing on the second team. Our child almost made it to the First team and we were thrilled he placed on the second team – we knew it meant more playing time, and more of a chance to develop. If he makes it onto MLS next as a U14 or U15 that is ideal as he is a truly ambitious, competitive, and extremely hard-working boy, and having a year as a U 13 on an MLSN2 team will only benefit him if he is playing more. If you guys are putting this kind of pressure and shame on your kids for being on the second string team, then that’s just poor parenting and poor sports management. Be proud of your son no matter where they play and have them focus on their effort and improving themselves as an individual and being a good teammate, not the status of their team, the alphabet soup, or any of that hogwash.
Do you know who’s ruining youth soccer?
You turkeys.

I think its weird to have your clubs top team be the B/developmental division.

because they haven't bother to come up with a name, it is literally called "new tier" which is obviously ridiculous long term.

I like MLSN2 myself for ease of use.

Especially kids leaving ECRL teams to go play MLsNext Bteam at clubs that don't have real MLS Next teams. What's the point?

I think some clubs have been told that they will be moved up to MLSNext I or will get that tier as well.

They have been told they will move up but have to start with B teams? That sounds like BS clubs tell parents.

I think there are at least a couple of clubs that should have had the first tier from the get go. Those I think will get tier I eventually. Not sure about the rest though.

This is the exact same thing ECNL has done recently with RL? For example Highland boys in Asheville.

Not really. ECRL is "regional league". ECNL is "national league". Some smaller clubs have only regional league teams, and that's fine. Bigger clubs have "national league" teams.

A club having a B team or developmental team as their top team in an age group is just....strange. How can you have a B team without an A team?

This is just spin about ECRL (it's basically the b league) and you could call clubs having its A squad in ECNL "strange" too (although I wouldn't). The real truth is clubs that used to shine in USYS are looking for a better platform, so these club's B teams are likely still in USYS, so you're missing the bigger picture. Some are trying to move up via ECRL and others through MLSN2. The hope is there be some sort of promotion/relegation system -- the problem is that's much harder to make work at a club vs. team level. The competition between the 2 is resulting in clubs to have to pick one over the other.
