[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bioband can work too for some players, but remember bioband is an exception and there is a limit on the number of bioband players. In our club, there are only one per age group. And I saw teams abusing bioband and put bigger players down just to win..[/quote]

No it screws Aug-Dec bdays forcing them to play down an age group AND skill level, double whammy, pergatory.[/quote]

Biobanding is only for players who can not play in their own age group. For Q3/Q4 players, they would rather play for ECNL than biobanding. A biobanding player in our team just left for HS soccer and he will tryout for ECNL team next Spring.

Why wouldn't they just play on an MLSN2 team that allows HS soccer? [/quote]Not everybody falls for marketing fluff. Some people are smart.[/quote]

100% this. MLS2 is a glorious name for a B team. And we all know the B team is a B team, no matter what deceiving new name you put on it.[/quote]

It's the second level league, I don't think anyone is unaware? There are some clubs who have no MLSN1 team and just MLSN2, so at those clubs, it's the A team - regardless of the league being second tier. No one is being deceived - it's an alternate structure to ENCL/RL. [/quote]
I dont think thats the case. MLSN HG is a pro/college pathway and MLSN Academy will be college pathway only. There will probabaly be a lot of movement between the 2 groups.

I realise the ECNL girl dad's are working double overtime to say negative things about MLSN. They should probabaly focus on themselves where the help is most needed.[/quote]

You are an idiot. Have no idea on MLS1 and ECNL. I guess your kid plays rec and you just pretend to know it, so you spill shit.

Watch what happens.

There's two different mindsets happening. MLSN1 is pro/academy and MLSN2 is pay to play. Now that one is BY and the other is SY they'll continue to drift appart. My guess is that MLSN1 will continue to pull talent from MLSN2 and there will be some way for the best MLSN2 teams to play against MLSN1 every once in a while. But even this will be difficult because the MLSN2 teams wont be thrilled about MLSN1 teams stealing their talented players. Unless MLSN 1 starts paying clubs for talent.

This is where things are going. MLSN2 and ECNL will end up copies of each other. Which might not be that bad if a thing. If you have 2 leagues doing essentially the same process someone's going to figure out that they can just buy their competition out and merge everything together.[/quote]

Breaking News: MLSN1 is 90% pay to play.  Everyone who actually has a kid playing in that league knows that. The professional academies sort of participate, emphasis on sort of.  They play a game a year or so an age group up. They also generally teams a fewer age groups, and play each other far more than they play anyone else.  I agree that if you're at a real MLS academy that it is sort of a professional pathway, 90% of those kids in those academies will not play professionally either and many of them will play division 1 college.[/quote]
I agree but over time the P2P clubs will sort themselves into SY. The dual clubs will likely have completely seperate BY and SY trainings coaches, environments. [/quote]
