Lots of angry looking Alexandria parents walking around. Did any of their teams perform well?

This tournament has gone downhill. Some of the scores are absurd

Shocker ECNL takes that approach. Very soft league since MLSNext began lapping them 4 years ago.


What happened 4 years ago? Did West Virginia, Achilles, Ironbound and Keystone join MLS Next 4 years ago?


Nice view from the inside. Come on in. Oh, wait…

Kids need a break from overuse and generally kids that are really good at dribbling skills continue after u12 generally. Also, at u13 and up, the higher end teams still have games well into December and find it hard to do both. Despite those generalizations, FUTSAL clubs are growing in our area and that may grow FUTSAL participation past u12 in the future.

Also, the county schools are not permitting 'soccer' in the school gyms over winter this year and who know about the future. So, indoor training space is really being squeezed.




"higher end teams" is this a joke? Who is still playing in Dec?


Woof...ever heard of ECNL and/or MLS Next? The season basically never ends. Just some advice...you probably shouldn't come at people like this since you clearly haven't experienced the top levels of youth soccer yet.


Umm... actually you just made yourself look stupid. Who cares about ECNL? MLS Next league games all ended in November. MLS Next Fest ends this week.

The girls landscape is going to reflect absolutely nothing other than which little kids parents have instagram for their nine year old. Mid ages most of the elite girls will be in Tampa, older, most will be in STL

MLS Next, GA and ECNL & ECNL RL all have events in December. So yes, those u littles that play FUTSAL to round out their skills are usually unavailable to play FUTSAL at U13 and up when they join Higher Level Teams.
