Achilles

If the league is not permitting Achilles to field teams in certain age groups, how long are they giving WV to remain in the league?

Achilles is not permitted to field teams for certain age groups and/or they don't have enough players, so they keep playing kids up to form a team. If most of the Achilles players would have a hard time competing in MLSNext at their age level, playing up is not going to work. It is not good for the kids, and, in the long run, it will not be good for Achilles.

As said in this forum multiple times previously.
If they weren't grandfathered in to MLS Next because of their DA days, Achilles would be a EDP and NCSL club.

The unprofessional sidelines behavior of their coaches which the league has gotten multiple complaints about doesn't help their case.

Agreed. But what is it going to take for MLSNext to send Achilles on its way?

Maybe ask what reasons they’re still there? Apart from being grandfathered?

Sounds like they're being eliminated age group by age group

Death by a thousand cuts 😂🤣

I thought they’ve always had just 4. They’re not being allowed to have more.

I think PP was hoping for the kids sake it was lies

Man, I feel bad for those kids. They've been struggling for 2-3 years now, how are they still in MLSN?

It is a mystery how Achilles remains in MLS Next. It is terrible for the kids. They should be playing against their own age group -- playing up and getting crushed doesn't help you become a better player. But it is hard for the players (and their parents) to step away because they like being on a MLS Next team, even if it consistently ranks at the bottom. And as long as the parents keep paying, Achilles keeps fielding teams that are bound to fail with the kids not being developed appropriately. This is no way to run a soccer club.

Look at me. I look up a team's scores on the internet and deride the coaches and the parents. I pretend to know what motivates them. I offer advice on what makes better players, even though my son is not a high level player. But I do it for the kids.

Unfortunately those scores are correct.
