[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U12 Q4 kid. Between 2nd and 3rd team. love our club which is MLS, not their fault, but we will now look to move to ECNL. My guess is MLS is gonna have to keep figuring things out and it's not worth potentially wasting a year or two while they do it. [/quote]

Every Q4 kid will make an attempt to move to an ECNL National team. 1st team is ALWAYS the clubs priority[/quote]
Every kid that wants to play pro will do MLSN1 or MLSN2 and try to get noticed by a MLS1 team. ECNL players will start getting ignored soon.[/quote]

Any June-Dec player who wants to play in college will go ECNL with this decision. Those June-Dc who want to go pro will try for MLS BY--but won't stay with Next 2 if they can't make Next 1 because there is now no longer a pathway to 1 given off cycle ages. Pathway was a farce. All those clubs that jumped on the Next 2 bandwagon got bamboozled...[/quote]

Yet to be seen. This is just ECNL homer-ism and trying to attack MLSN's direct competitor on age in the near term -- because it DOESN'T want to be that.[/quote]

It’s funny you think parents with kids playing in ecnl care what MLSN does. Very sad if they even give it a second thought.

People discussing here have kids with different birthdays playing (likely) premlsnext or hope to be on the MLSN path later. Kids currently playing u13 and up won’t be impacted. The current plan puts kids u11 and younger August-December kids at a huge disadvantage with mlsnext. That’s not debatable, not only are they end of the age range but now playing a year younger than kids they will compete with for HG spots. This isn’t something I’m telling my kid, we will just take each year as it comes and try to get better every day. Nothing we can do about it anyway.

As far as the club perspective, I don’t see how this plan is sustainable for them long term. Not my problem though so I guess we will just see what happens.[/quote]
