[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear MLS Next 2 parents,

- We have the same MLS Next patch
- Some are going to MLS Next fest
- We are NAL rebranded and our clubs will have opportunities in the future for promotion if your are with a club whose top team is playing in MLS Next 2
- We should not confuse ourselves with MLS Next Homegrown division (MLS Next 1).  We are officially the MLS Next Academy division.
- Clubs are very being very loose in the marketing and not including the 2 in their marketing which does not help and causes confusion.

I have two kids, one in each division, MLS Next 1 and MLS Next 2.  I still love them the same.  Please don’t take yourself so seriously.

If you have questions about MLS Next 2, post them here please so you are not confused with questions and answers from MLS 1 parents.[/quote] who the hell cares except yall chasing a patch.  Little to any of these boys will be D1 none the less pro. Both if they want will be mainly D3 and maybe D2.  [/quote]

Our club just joined this new Academy level. We were previously E64 and our best players typically left for MLSN 1 teams because that's just how it worked. The Academy level appears to provide more opportunities for advancement and exposure than E64 and just maybe we'll hang on to our talent a bit longer. If that how it works, it's not chasing a badge, it's doing right by your players by giving them a better opportunity. [/quote]

Just move the better players on. Know where your club stands and what the role of the club is. Biggest issue in the US is this. It is okay to be a feeder club or seller club (if we use European club terminology)[/quote]

Sure it's OK to be a feeder club, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Sometimes, the clubs now on top get arrogant, toxic and staid in their ways, too. And when there's only 1 or 2 in your area it's better when mid-levels start to punch up. Disruption can be good.[/quote]
