On the contrary.

Very good chance ECNL will be absorbing MLSN2 boys and GA girls.

Agree. As a dad of a Q4 kid I believe it will be better for my kid's development and exposure ECNL rather than MLSN2.[/quote]

You can do biobanding to play in the MLS1 younger group, so same as ECNL SY.[/quote]

Not necessarily! You have to be a late developer to play in the younger group. [/quote]

No biobanding police in MLS. As long as you are short, then you can play down. There is no doctor or sth to check. They only measure your height.

Actually, they measure weight, sitting height, standing height and take several photos that must be submitted to the league, including one comparing the players on the entire MLS team in birth order in a line so you can se relative size based upon age. They also take photos of the players’ necks to evaluate whether an Adam’s Apple is present.

Most people here have no clue about the process. Some say you just have to be short, others say they are “giraffes” or “tallest on the field”. None of that is correct. [/quote]

We only measure standing height; no picture is taken. The procedure is very loose. The younger team coach emailed our team saying that he wants to biobanding, talk to him. So as long as you are short, you can bioband if you cannot get minutes in your team. We also have U18 playing down in U17.[/quote]

What club? For our club they told us MLS Next (HG at least) requires all of the measurements and the photo to be submitted and late developers to be approved by the league. Maybe MLS2 is more lenient? I'm not familiar with them. [/quote]
