[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is in SYC’s MLS Next and I see a worrying trend. The U13 & U14 are the only MLS Next teams, U15 and up are the “Inter League” teams. I do not really have an opinion on standings, but I do see an overall direction. The older a SYC boys team gets, the less they score and the more they get scored on. Is their a league charter or agreement, specifically a relegation or competition clause? I’m worried about 2022/2023 season with SYC being in MLS Next. We didn’t receive an invite from DC United, but we are considering Alexandria’s MLS Next or Arlington’s ECNL.

U13: 10 games played, 23 goals scored (+8 GD)
U14: 10 games played, 19 goals scored (+4 GD)
U15: 10 games played, 15 goals scored (-5 GD)
U16: 8 games played, 6 goals scored (-16 GD)
U17: 9 games played, 3 goals scored (-17 GD)
U19: 8 games played, 3 goals scored (-18 GD)

55 games played for all SYC teams, 69 goals scored, -44 GD
1.25 goals a game[/quote]

We are not at SYC, but you cannot look at U16-19 to determine what will happen to the younger teams based on the trajectory of teams that formed when SYC was not affiliated with MLS Next (all of the SYC teams above U15 are brand new MLS Next teams this year, and they had little time to try to recruit new players for new age groups.)  There is not relegation for specific teams in MLS Next (or in ECNL).  Area clubs in MLS Next just obtained the additional age groups, so although it is possible that MLS Next will reevaluate that decision for all clubs in a few years, it is highly doubtful any would lose age groups based on this year's performance.

Thank you for proving my point.  If they can’t recruit, they can’t compete because they can’t develop.[/quote]

You're not too sharp, are you?  I did not say they could not recruit.  They actually did recruit extremely well at ages (13/14) and time (this past year) when it matters.  That's why those teams (especially U13) are really good.  [/quote]

So you agree, they can’t develop?[/quote]

I agree, you are not too sharp. [/quote]
