100% this. Has to be the oldest to stay in the MLSN team, just biobanding to play down. |

| Our club directors just confirmed MLSN had decided on BY but changed mind and are now undecided. Decision supposedly by January. |

For MLSN not a big deal either way because of biobanding they have additional flexibility. They could stay and bioband the younger players and just increase the amount of biobands or switch to SY and then bioband the new Q3/4s. So Jan to July. |

| What is the chance some top ECNL clubs boys or girls let the majority of their Aug to Dec players stay up? Do you risk making your team less competitive when some clubs go all in and move players based on their age in new teams. |

They are not going to solve this with biobanding. No one wants to be biobanded and most clubs dont use it or rarely use it. They are going to go either BY or SY and live with the consequences |

I would guess most clubs make strict policies to make everyone make the age change. If they dont, one of their younger ages, probably like current 17s or 18s or 19s or so, would be at a HUGE disadvantage as they would have a much smaller player pool of kids only coming from the youngest 7 months of eligibility. Would think parents of that team would not be thrilled. And that would happen unless universal team change is required. |

Exactly, just up the number of biobanders from 3 to 10 or make biobanding unlimited but bound by 7 months and you have SY but in BY format. Theres multiple ways to address. Or MLS can just ignore SY and let the ECNL parents cry about it. |

SY in MLSN will not cause as much stir as ECNL, because biobanding can always allow older players to play down one year in the younger group, so MLSN parents see no difference between BY and SY. |

| Top clubs dont bioband and neither do top players. So no one really cares about it. |

Sounds like MLSN can’t just do what they want… queue the top dog guy lol |

More like when when trying to appeal to a broder base MLS has to deal with groups of people that dont share an Academy mentality. I hope they do the right thing and boot the troublemakers. I'm sure the option is being considered. An Academy mentality is what makes MLS different and is why youth players flock to MLS clubs. |

Yes! And MLSN tiers of cannot work on a SY system. You really think parents are going to drive and fly and pay all this money and give loads of time under the guise they might one day go to a MLSN pro academy and then do even more unnecessary traveling for one match at a time and pretend they have a realistic chance at going pro if they change the age cutoff to Aug 1st? The whole system would blow up. As it stands, PP is right on, MLSN is top dog! People flock to MLSN and they will lose all that and the ability to recruit the best players unless they stay BY. They will live or die with this decision and I pray to God they make the right one! |
