This is setting up parents from the transtition away from MLSN to ECNL boys so as to buoy up girls program in ECNL. BPA will operate as its own entity to keep MLSN badge BSC will be an all ECNL club moving forward.

Not sure but looking into it. Great step to solve a local problem for kids who want to skip "homeroom" and "video games".

I believe there is an information session on Jan 30. BSC attempt at providing a similar experience to what a MLS academy would provide. It's actually not a poor idea for a club that is literally on its last legs. But the execution will be interesting to watch.

The central premise they are relying on or the key to success is that many parents will take their kids out of traditional school for online school and BSC training in soccer, which is known to be inferior. Overall, just a bad idea from a risk perspective but I'm sure BSC will try to leverage this in a way that ties the kids to it if they want to stay in BSC and they will use it to prey on the existing parents that are there thinking BSC is getting their kid into college.

BSC is desperate.
