[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I confess I just realized that all of these complaints and issues are hitting uniquely the boys' U19s.  I was trying to see who had these schedules and it is uniquely that age group that this is hitting really hard.  I checked several clubs across several age groups and that's what I found.  I'm not there yet, but I do confess that the U19 age group for boys is a problem.  A lot of boys drop out for high school once they commit and these teams are unstable.  I guess when people hit that age group, they have a decision to make.  It might not hurt for parents to have a massive email campaign and bombard US Soccer about it.

It's worthy of note that huge complaints about combined age groups on the girls' side forced them to split the 16s and 17s.  And the boys' ECNL is having some impact.

I sympathize. [/quote]

Only U19B this year but could be expanded to U17B next year. You will have to wait for the schedule to be published in August to know. 
A 2-tier system can make sense if there is room for promotion-relegation, but as the MLS team will not be relegated however bad they are (hello DCU), many good non-MLS clubs will stay in the second tier, having an insane travel schedule against average competition.   
The is not about player development this is about pushing the most eager players to play for the MLS academies.[/quote]
