Why?
Because they are treated like second class citizens. They don’t practice with the top team, get the bad coaches, don’t play up- it is the worst I have ever seen. And Alexandria players who are on the top team stay there for eternity so even when others are better- they never lose their top team spot.
Is this in Alexandria?
Yes. I'm guessing it's similar at other MLSN teams but don't know.

This is true for all clubs, unfortunately.

It would good to hear the opinion for either age 2011 or 2012.
At 2012 that would be the 1st year of ECNL or MLSN

If one was to choose between FVU vs SYC 2nd team or ASA 2nd team at U13.
FVU - ECNL National
SYC/ASA - National Academy League
Any thoughts?
