[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol no blood tests. Bio banding is only allowed on the boys side for right now.

Basically, a late developing player (a small kid for his age) can be played down by 1 age group so they have a chance to play more and develop.

A club can do this for only a limited number of players. [/quote]

Huh. Well, I guess the concept is decent, but seems rife for abuse without more guardrails. On the girls side it would help at the Ulittle ages but I guess people care less about that?[/quote]
It works with boys involved with MLSN because nobody really cares about wins and losses (at least not the way girls parents do). For boys all that matters is individual development and [b]the end goal is playing professionally[/b] not winning local league games.[/quote]
The end goal for 90+% of families in this area with boys playing MLSNext is playing in college, whatever the stated goals of the league may be. It is true that MLSNext teams win/loss records don’t matter as much as they would for teams in other leagues.  If you are a good player on any MLSNext team you will be seen by coaches and have a good shot at college ball.
