[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just found this thread.

Is bio-banding allowed for MLS Next 2?

Could my very small son play down with one age group lower?  [/quote]

Doubt it but worth asking. MLS Next did it as a trial and the program has stuck around. There really needs to be criteria, and this is coming from someone whose son bio-banded for a single season. Also, not every small, skilled kid can play MLS Next. He needs to be near that level in his own age group but having a hard time competing because of the size differential. MLS academies even do it for safety purposes with U13-15. [/quote]

I agree with this. A biobanded kid should be an impact player on the team they play on,  meaning they’re one of the best on the team. I would say this for a kid playing up. A kid playing up should also be an impact player from the get go and getting significant minutes, and not just a bench warmer. [/quote]

Biobanding used in true soccer countries is about keeping late developers with high potential in the game at high levels

Has nothing to do with them being so-called impact players [/quote]
