The topmost choice is to stay in MLSN HG team with calendar year team. For late developers, go to Younger SY ECNL team first for big minutes and try to go back to your correct grade team after U16. For physically bigger players, stay with the SY team with your grade.

With biobanding it doesn't matter

Bioband can work too for some players, but remember bioband is an exception and there is a limit on the number of bioband players. In our club, there are only one per age group. And I saw teams abusing bioband and put bigger players down just to win..

Biobanding kids have to go through a process so although they may seem big for the age below they would be smaller than average for their age otherwise they would not be approved to bioband

Biobanding isn't based on static size so biobanded kids aren't suppose to be small but they might be small. Also as has been pointed out, the process is very loose and just needs MLSN1 sign off.

Biobanding is only for players who can not play in their own age group. For Q3/Q4 players, they would rather play for ECNL than biobanding. A biobanding player in our team just left for HS soccer and he will tryout for ECNL team next Spring.

Why wouldn't they just play on an MLSN2 team that allows HS soccer?

Probably because, location dependent, ECNL teams in a local area are often significantly better than MLSN2 teams. In Texas as an example MLSN2 teams routinely lose to ECNL RL teams.

Not everybody falls for marketing fluff. Some people are smart.

100% this. MLS2 is a glorious name for a B team. And we all know the B team is a B team, no matter what deceiving new name you put on it.

Why is U16 automatically more skilled than U15 in your mind?

Actually a bio-banded Aug - December birthday would just be playing with the kids in their school grade. Which is who they compete with for college roster spots, if that's what they want. It's "down" an age group only in the MLS Next 1 system - which will be the only BY system left in the country as of next fall right?

It's the second level league, I don't think anyone is unaware? There are some clubs who have no MLSN1 team and just MLSN2, so at those clubs, it's the A team - regardless of the league being second tier. No one is being deceived - it's an alternate structure to ENCL/RL.

It's down an age group in MLSN1 and MLSN1 is BY so it would not be anything close to playing on grade. Again, travel soccer doesn't deal in grades.

I dont think thats the case. MLSN HG is a pro/college pathway and MLSN Academy will be college pathway only. There will probabaly be a lot of movement between the 2 groups.

I realise the ECNL girl dad's are working double overtime to say negative things about MLSN. They should probabaly focus on themselves where the help is most needed.
