[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, what happens to a 2015 team in 26-27 that is U12, one year away from MLS Next? They probably stay 1/1 to 12/31 and play against older teams? [/quote]

Incorrect.  Those teams are going to be broken up.

1/1/2015-7/31/15 will be the most susceptible to players losing their 1st team spots in U12 as many 8/1/2014-12/31/2014 2014’s across the DMV will look to repeat a U12 season in 9v9 and most of them will easily take those kids spots and move them down to 2nd team or to another club if they desire first team.  That is why Potomac is getting ahead of it with their supplemental tryouts.

Buckle up.  This is going to be a fun spring 😀.[/quote]

Wouldn't it depend on what MLS Next does? Why break up a 2015 team to 8/1/2014-7/31/2015 for U12, only to go back to 1/1/2015-12/31/2015 at U13 if MLS Next sticks to the calendar year?

Potomac is ECNL so the change you described makes more sense.[/quote]

Two separate entities.  93% of US entities are SY in 26/27.  All of the feeder leagues to MLS Next are SY.  I would imagine, if you can play MLS Next, you will play.  The top BSC 2014 last year was not allowed to play up with BSC in MLS Next and changed clubs.  I am not sure what you are hypothetically expecting from BSC as their policies about playing up have been pretty strict.  I imagine that if MLS Next stays birth year, whoever makes it will make it.  8/1/14+ kids who don't make it will have the option to try out for 1st team U12 if they don't already prefer staying in U12.  Unless all of the U12 Pre-MLS clubs playing in the NAL agree to stay birth year, I don't see how any 2015 team would stay together regardless of what MLS Next decides.  If they do that, those clubs may see their top 8/1/14+ move to on to other clubs.

I have no idea why MLS Next has not announced SY unless they are trying the ultimate trump card and forcing their clubs to play in their own leagues in the younger age groups.  Otherwise, NCSL, EDP, etc. are all US Club and USYS which are all SY.[/quote]
