[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks to be players let go from MLS Next go to ECNL and high impact go to MLS Next [/quote]
Depends on the club.[/quote] Was other way round on my DS' ECNL team. Only one player left for an MLSNext team, and it was because he wasn't starting / getting as much PT as he wanted.[/quote] Same. Most of the boys like playing for their HS teams too. So ECNL was better choice. Non-starters left to try for new MLSnext clubs. |

wait, our club says some players will be able to play and we'll be doing tournaments as well... is this not correct? |

MLS Next is also carrying over perhaps the most impactful and controversial rule of the DA – as long as a player is in MLS Next, the player cannot play high school soccer. |

No Middle school soccer either. Once a year club application – “The MLS NEXT Program Staff will aim to review and evaluate each application by January 1 of each calendar year.” Clubs can play in outside tournaments – with permission and only in events that follow “the MLS NEXT Technical Framework and are in compliance with the standards outlined in the MLS NEXT Outside Competition Standards.” No high school – “Club Players must agree to forgo participating simultaneously in both (1) MLS NEXT and (2) high school or middle school soccer.” Exceptions for soccer school scholarship players. Full-Time players can only be added once a year (no date listed) – “Clubs will have one period during the MLS NEXT Season (September 1, 2020 through April 2, 2021) at which time Players may be added as full-time” 18 player on game-day roster – “For U-13 through U-19 MLS NEXT Games, only 18 Players from the Roster will be eligible to participate in each Game, and these Players must be placed on the Game Day Roster” Recommended starts and minutes – players “are recommended but not required to start in at least 25% of their Club’s MLS NEXT Games during the season. Additionally, we recommend that U-13, U-14 and U-15 players participate in 50% of the minutes played each season in their age group.” Division tiebreakers in order: Head to head, wins, GD, GF, Aways GD, Away GF, Home GD, Home GF, coin toss Game Length – U16-U19 45s minute halves. U15-U15 40 minute halves, U13 35 minute halves. Limited subs moments and no re-entry – U14 to U19 “unlimited substitutions over three (3) moments in the game, plus half time with no re-entry after exiting the match.: U13 “Unlimited substitutions over three (3) moments per half, plus half time, with no re-entry per half.” |

I bet this is part of Arlington’s decision to go ECNL rather than MLSNext. |

This makes no sense. They were in DA when this rule was in effect there, and they were seeking all age groups. When they did not get identified as one of the 55 core MLS clubs, they left for ECNL. They did not know whether this rule was in place and it certainly never drove them from DA before. So you bet wrong. |

| ^DP. No idea, but it’s why my son left an mlsnext club and joined Arlington. |

| We left an ECNL club for a MLS Next club. We did not leave for lack of playing time reasons. |
