[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have mlsnext clubs announced how they will group the younger/pre mlsnext ages? I’ve heard of at least one that plans to keep the top team BY and the second and below teams will change to SY. Another I’ve heard will change all u9-u12 teams to SY and make the change to BY for the top team at u13. I don’t think any of this has been formally announced yet, just rumors. [/quote]

It’s not rumors. All clubs have formally announced this. They have literally laid out that ONLY mls Next is allowed to go birth year. Since it starts at U13 you don’t need to be Miss Cleo to confirm that all ages below this are going to be school year.

Come on now. [/quote]

That’s not true, there are some clubs keeping younger ages BY so it aligns with u13 and up. Strikers FC is one that announced this. BY teams would play up in a SY system so clubs are “allowed” to do anything. [/quote]

I have heard some MLSN clubs are thinking of keeping their top 1 or 2 U8-12 BY, with teams 3 and below SY. The BY teams would just play up (or we may eventually see some MLSN only U8-12 leagues). I personally think that is an organizational mess in the making, and they will drop this after a year or so.

How these clubs with MLSN1 form the rest of their teams really depends on the scale of the club and where they make their money. There are some that are heavily dependent on U8-12 (massive numbers of teams that play in internal leagues) and then only have 1/2 teams at U13+. Those will likely stay mostly BY. Then you have other MLSN1 clubs that are more dependent for cash flow on all of their U13+ teams (which will all be SY) and bringing in MLSN1 players from other clubs. I think they will mainly switch to SY and just form BY MLSN1 teams.

I'm not confidant most of these clubs can juggle a complicated age group split well but we'll see. [/quote]
