I have already commented on several posts like this as a lot of the comments here are just from uninformed parents or people reaching for things. As someone who works pretty high up in this I will explain what is going on below and why again. The main push for the move back to school year has been to align more with college recruitment and other factors as almost all of these kids aren’t going pro etc.

The decision originally was for MLSN to stay birth year and everyone else would basically go school year. MLS Pro Academies with their ties to FIFA rules, player transfers, etc cannot go school year.

However what MLSN realized after looking at what everyone else is doing is that by ECNL shifting to school year and MLSN staying birth year it puts the non pro regular MLSN clubs at a major disadvantage compared to the ECNL ones many are already competing with for players/status in their region. ECNL would have the potential to have stronger teams with school year compared to MLSN as they would essentially have older players in each age group. This is a major issue and why most non pro MLSN clubs are now pushing for school year or some sort of compromise.

So what will ultimately happen is that yes MLSN will go school year with the MLS Pro academies staying birth year and having their team essentially all compete about a year up. Many already have players in various age groups doing this anyway so it won’t really change much for them and possibly makes games more competitive etc. it also fits the non pro MLSN clubs as at the end of the day especially at the older age groups none of these kids will essentially be professional players and will all go to college.[/quote]

When MLSN Academy plays up this season and gets destroyed by the older P2P team, which makes the only selling point of P2P MLSN pointless. You can already guess that P2P MLSN will almost certainly go to SY.
