ECNL to MLSN2 is lateral |
Don't be fooled thinking coppermine 1 players are going to play mlsn2. Their MLS 2 will be filled with second/third team players. |
Pay attention. |
Yes, and ECNL for boys is just not the place to be. Any MLSN team is a better option, same applies to MLNSII. |
But is it’s worth all that travel?? The part of ecnl rl that is great is most games are local — at this point I’d rather if my DS is on a 2nd team just play ncsl and let him enjoy friends and socializing. All the travel is a lot for kids and parents. |
Where have you seen that Coppermine is listed in MLSNext, not MLSNext New Tier? If not, in the new tier, where are the top teams playing? E64?

Who is moving from ECNL to MLSN2? |
Very confused about this whole MLSNII situation as we are seeing those who are being offered MLSNII are second and third team players at ECNL clubs or coming from lower level travel clubs. So you would have to say for PP that MLSNII is equal or lower than ECRL. Even more leagues to cause even more confusion. |
Kids who get no playing time in ECNL. Parents and Club who want to pretend their kid is in a top league. MLS Next is the top boys league, no question, MLS Next 2 is just branding. |
Someone said earlier that MLSN2 is the equivalent of ECRL They were being corrected |
You saying ECRL is better than MLSN2 seems like bluster. For pay to play, they are both 2nd tier, so about the same seems about right. |
ECNL is MLSN2 Remember, the clubs that had both ECNL and MLS Next before ecnl forced the split? The ECNL teams were the 2nd teams, which are now the MLSN2 teams. |
Poster on another thread showed boys team rankings. After MLSN academies, MLSN and ECNL were the same. Unless are performing a stock pump and dump, I have no idea why you would care either way for these leagues, they all come and go. Local MLSN academy can't even fund one U14 team so not a good sign for financial longevity there. What's next after MLSN folds? Who knows. |
