I think many people forget MLSNext is not just MLS Academies.

On the contrary, with tier 2 expansion the MLSN P2P clubs outnumber the academies.

So MLSN can’t ditch P2P clubs’ interests (huge amount of money is coming from P2P clubs to MLSN).

For a MLSN P2P it’s impossible to keep 2 age systems. Organization would be crazy.

U12 and younger, plus the rest of older teams (non MLSN) will be playing SY … so I see unavoidable that MLSN P2P push for moving to SY.

P2P MLSN clubs vastly outnumbered Academies [i]before[/i] MLSN2 arrived. It is just, literally, another soccer league in a soup of them. Some of these people on here acting like these kids are all going pro and need to be grouped by BY because ('sans England') other countries group by BY (they do that because BY is also their school year cohorts) is wild. I know certain generations are susceptible to marketing but dang. Nothing would change if MLSN went SY or stayed BY. It would not change an iota. My god...

Why dont you just mind your own business and let people do what they want. Oh ya you know that if MLSN stays BY they will just ignore ECNL even more than they already do. Which will be really bad for boys ECNL.[/quote]

I' m glad you think I have some sort of 'say' on what happens. Do you think the board of MLSN is here reading our posts and going, "hmmm. Anon#20232 had a really good point there, let's change to SY!"?

Personally, I don't care if they change or not. My kid plays MLSN1 and I love the competition and strength of the league. [/quote]

What month is your son? Maybe are you afraid that your boy won’t be a starter, or even not make his MLSN1 team, if MLSN1 moves to SY?

Just asking …[/quote]

I’ve been saying SY is the correct call for MLSN man. I don’t think a fractured system where two silos (BY/SY) have different age cutoffs benefits anyone but the leagues themselves.

Boy, both sides of this debate are hella suspicious. [/quote]

Can't say I agree with this.  If you're the oldest in a particular age group system, you will benefit as a player.  So in the SY system, the August - December bdays benefit (a lot) by being the oldest and getting more opportunities.  And same for the spring birthdays in the BY system.  Having two systems gives more opportunities for more players![/quote]
This is a two edged sword.  The problem with this theory is the advantage of age goes down the older one gets.   RAE is most pronounced at the younger ages where if you fracture the systems there are fewer local teams to play.   What you suggest would mean even more not needed travel at younger ages because we will half the local available teams to play against. [/quote]

Seems like a lot of reasons for MLS Next to switch to SY then, huh?[/quote]
Nope, but keep tryjng.[/quote]

Personally would prefer MLS Next stay BY and US Club and USYS go SY.  It's fine. [/quote]
If this was to occur what would happen is both MLSN + GA and ECNL (boys and girls) would just ignore each other and not participate in each other's tournaments. This would also create an incentive for MLSN + GA to create their own littles leagues.

For Boys MLSN saying BY guarantees ECNLs 2nd tier status.

For girls nothing really changes. However if MLSN starts forcing clubs to be MLSN + GA and not allowing MLSN + ECNL (girls). Its just a matter of time before clubs start switching over.

This is why the "ECNL hat" is freaking out and posting every 30 seconds.[/quote]
