[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is from the MYS website.  "The 2025-2026 MLS Next New Competition Tier ID Sessions for players U13-U19 have been concluded."

So, sounds like the new Tier II stuff starts at U13 at which point the "A" team plays MLSN Tier2 and the "B" teams plays NAL, and all remaining teams play NCSL/EDP.

What about the U11-U12 ages?  In what league(s) will the A, B, and C teams play, considering that it sounds like MLSN2 and NAL only start at U13.   [/quote]

The conference for McLean in MLSN2 is operated by NAL.  so McLean 1st teams will be in NAL.  all other teams will be in NCSL/EDP[/quote]

McLean is awful.  But it sure was fun watching them self-destruct.  5 years ago one of the top dogs in NOVA.  During tryouts coaches would play on their iphones and ipads, yucking it up.  Now just rabble.  [/quote]

Oh, I enjoyed watching the self-destruction too. I still remember the last tryout that I brought my son to for McLean. I watched the coaches either talking to each other and paying no attention to the tryouts or standing with their backs to the field. The coaches had no interest in the players. I was amazed to watch this unfold. McLean was a low to middle of the pack ECNL club and the coaches were acting like their team didn't need any improvement and were undefeated.

We then went to Arlington and SYC's tryouts and it was the complete opposite. The coaches didn't take their eyes off the field and conducted well run tryouts. My son never tried out for another McLean team since it was a waste of our time and ultimately my son and several of the other boys that were there went on to play at other area MLSNext and ECNL-N teams and a few, including my son, went on to play D1.

The self-destruction was self-inflicted and could be used as an example for karma.

Four years with MYS.  When the coaches aren't looking the players it means they already know who's on the team.  Been this way for a looong time.[/quote]

Oh, I know. Then why hold the tryout? Why waste everyone's time? A good club or a club interested in getting and finding talent never assumes their club is complete. And quite frankly, it was unprofessional and the immediate outcome is that Virginia Union lost their ECNL-N badge. When a business believes they are too big or too good, that is usually the beginning of the end of that company. Maybe MYS recovers down the road, but I wouldn't bet on it.[/quote]
