MLSN 2/GA and down are just money makers (hopefully) for them so they will SY more than likely. If some players in MLSN2 can play MLSN then they will fit them into their BY teams.

Same thing for GA + DPL/Aspire/GA2
FWIW, the scuttlebutt around the GA circles I'm in (nothing official), is it'll SY. This IS different from a few months ago -- when it was a big question mark and more of wait-and-see.

-mlsn is going to play Ecnl teams at the big tournaments. Is that gap really that big where they can play 5 months up and remain dominant? I don’t think so. When these teams start losing to Ecnl what will these parents do?
-switch to August was the nail in the cofffin. August/September are our two largest birth months in the US. Switching to August added the second largest birth month and widened the playing up gap for mlsn from 4 to 5 months.
-mlsn has nothing to gain from staying by other than resistance to change. By not changing they are giving Ecnl boys a huge lifeline. If they do change the status quo remains.
Boys ECNL in Socal is 3rd tier.
And MLSN can bioband + everyone is used to switching teams around. This means ECNL will lose and nobody cares.
Lol what’s second?
MLS Acadamies
MLS p2p
ECNL
ECRL
EA
Socal (olders)
MLS academy and p2p is the same tier. Top of Ecnl beats academy teams. It’ll be more common with them playing 5 months up
The plan to stay by after Rae kicks in with the ulittles can’t be to just bio and them all.
Mlsn staying by gives Ecnl a shot at the crown.

Don’t worry, I’m sure your July kid can still make MLSN2 next year
My kid was born in September
Why such a hardon for BY then Mr trollboy. At least try some logical justifications, instead of Mlsn rules everyone else sucks.

The fact is that MLSN GA DPL haven't made a statement on BY or SY. Which means BY is still whats going to happen.
You’re right; that makes sense. well thought out logic.
And you think something different will occur because.....
See what I mean? Anything different is just an opinion or a guess.
Because the three largest governing bodies announced they are switching to SY… that’s why people said the age groups are changing.
ECNL is governed by us club that’s why they will change…
GA/MLSN have not said which is why people are speculating.
It’s just difficult to have your top teams be BY and your other teams be SY not because it’s tough to keep track of it but because club directors are lazy.
Ha, out of all the back and forth...
Club owners being lazy is one i just cant deny.
