[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]General manager of a MLSNext Academy club told me last weekend that they are receiving input about serious options of MLSN1 moving to SY by 26-27.

It would mean a complete rearrangement of rosters at the club, also from local feeder clubs U12 and younger. They are already working on it.[/quote]

By MLSnext academy club do you mean a MLS P2P club or an MLS academy? [/quote]

p2p MLSN makes sense. MLS Academy is free, so it does not care about BY or SY from a business perspective, which SY has an edge.[/quote]

The funding has to come from somewhere, I promise you it isn’t free. I recently talked to someone at a top mls academy and he was saying there were talks of the academy shutting down because of funding. That’s was before the mls next 2 rollout.

Reading the tea leaves, it appears Ecnl checkmated them into sy [/quote].

Yes, MLSN2 has been created as a money grabber for parents.

I also think ECNL is going to win this SY war. ECNL has on its SY side all under U12 soccer, most of girls business (GA is the exception), and USCS, USYS, AYSO boys.

I don’t understand what having “rec” aligned with ECNL in SY does for “winning this war.”

ECNL doesn’t have a pro pathway, USL is awful, but maybe that is the pathway in the future?

But until the boys side of ECNL is more competitive, the “war” isn’t even happening. Age cutoffs aligned with rec aren’t the big boost ECNL needs to compete with MLSN that you think it is.[/quote]With ECNL boys and P2P MLSN being equivalent and both getting watered down, the war isn't who can get one  player a year to an MLSN academy, the war is who can siphon the most cash at the younger ages with the most teams.

Fake elite leagues have gone bankrupt pretty quickly in youth soccer without the big feeders supplying cash.[/quote]
