[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you follow identityhybrid on ig, he speaks on youth soccer….This is what he said about the alliance…

📍This is a strategic chess move.
Rook to B5 if you will.

1. Solidifying pre-professional pathway. Laying the ground work on professional pathway via NWSL (remember you don't need to go to college and enter the draft anymore. Remember over 10 players under 17 have signed pro contracts).

2. Isolation of ECNL on one side. Collegiate only pathway.
This will be a 2-3 year ripple. Around 2026 / 2027. World Cup Years.📍[/quote]
It will also likely affect littles.

If certain leagues choose to stay BY they'll also need a youngers feeder funnel. If all the current youngers leagues switch to SY it will force a rival BY youngers league to form.

In the end...

Rec -> ecnl -> college will exist as one path.
Rec ->MLSN/GA -> pro/college will exist as the highest level league.

All the ECNL hats are trying to say that MLSN + GA working together doesn't mean anything. But they're only doing this because they don't understand MLS's power on the boys side.[/quote]MLS Next has about 150 clubs and MLS really only center on the 30 academies.

ECNL/RL is what, 4-5 times larger about with about 600-700 clubs if you separate out boys and girls and RL an NL.

You sure MLS wants the headache of running all of youth soccer to help it's 30 academies? US Soccer didn't want the headache. MLS would sooner stop funding their academies (more or less shit them down) then throw large amounts of money to take on ECNL.[/quote]

600-700 clubs?

Do each of these clubs only have like 6 players? 😂

Dumb take, with inaccurate information.[/quote]ECNL girls 130, ECNL boys 150, ECRL girls 250, ECRL boys 270. Roster max per team of 30.[/quote] 50% of the RLs are attached to the same club as the NL genius.

[/quote]About 100,000 players under ECNL/RL and about 16,000 under MLS Next.

So ECNL/RL is not 4-5 times larger than MLS Next, it is over 6 times larger.[/quote]

The posted that started this thread was talking about clubs…not teams, not player pools. Then they proceeded to break “clubs” into genders and leagues to get to their point. That poster was wrong.

Yes there are more ECNL kids than MLSN kids…not the point. [/quote]
There's always more rec players than elite players.[/quote]So other than supporting their 30 academies, why would MLS want to be in charge of / responsible for rec soccer?[/quote]
