[quote=CampChairCoffee][quote=dcu13][quote=CampChairCoffee]Thanks, all. Not remotely fluent in soccer (what’s P.R.O.?) but trying to help my kid navigate the process, and it’s touchy IRL with teammates moving up and down and around.[/quote]

It's totally confusing and by the time I get it all figured out my kids will be done with soccer. :)

PRO as it has existed for the last 10(?) years is a more selective version of National League. Basically each regional conference has 10-12 teams that compete for a league title each season. The top 2-3 teams from each conference qualify for the following season's PRO. PRO is a national league of 30-40 teams divided into a few different groups. All the teams will get together at a couple of different events and play some games. The top teams then qualify for the national championship. These events are (I assume) attended by plenty of college scouts.

[quote=CampChairCoffee]So it sounds like national league would rank below ECNL/MLS Next in competitiveness, but above EDP and NCSL? And that’s partly based on the ability to advance in national competition, and partly because recruitment is strongest at the highest level?[/quote]You nailed it.

Thanks, that’s really helpful. So basically it’s all fairly diluted because there’s so much money to be made in the youth industrial soccer complex….[/quote]
