MLS NEXT New Tier does not prohibit players from playing school ball.

Individual clubs may apply the prohibition on their own.

If MLS NEXT New Tier players are hoping to move up to MLS NEXT Old Tier they should not plan to play school ball. How much roster movement there is between "tiers" remains to be seen and will vary club to club.

What’s new tier and old tier?

Good question. There are only 8 teams in Virginia compared to the rest

The 10 Carolinas teams are playing each other 3x for a 27 game season.

Surely only at U13 & 14, right? A couple of Carolinas clubs said on their website HS aged would have minimal games during HS season, so unless U15 and up aren't playing many events, I don't see how that's even possible.

We got the same message, some games in the fall more in the spring, practice limits for kids in HS

Maybe some low key tournaments in the fall and practices with home and away in the spring for HS.

Would love to actually know!

This seems setup for failure. They know they cant say no HS soccer if you do MLSN2 as they would lose all their players, but they want to try to hold onto the idea that they will train and play club for a ten month season. In NC, they play 2-3 HS games per week, making club practices with more than a handful available any weeknight almost impossible. In some states, they don't allow players to touch a field to even train with club during HS season. Not sure how they are going to expect clubs to play some league games during HS season.

Despite the fixation of clubs here bent on prohibiting children playing for their HS, boys and girls alike make no compromise to have an outside entity dictate what they can or can’t do.

Will clubs cave in or are players going to actually have to pick one or the other?

There are MLSNext clubs that won’t let their players play in HS and the players almost always pick MLSNext. Which makes sense if you’re a serious soccer playing looking to play in college.

Serious soccer players aren’t interested in playing in college. They want to go pro.

Agreed

MLS Next II account the clubs that are in it. Each club has different level of teams. So Coppermine probably already has a team in MLS Next and this is their next lower team in MLS Next II.

Coppermine was in ECRL not MLSN. So just a lateral move, ECRL to MLS2. Probably made the move because ECRL North Atlantic and Northeast South have weird overlaps so forces too much unnecessary travel for a regional league. They weren't even in the same ECRL league as Celtic and Pipeline.

ECNL to MLSN2 is lateral

Pay attention.

Yes, and ECNL for boys is just not the place to be. Any MLSN team is a better option, same applies to MLNSII.

Who is moving from ECNL to MLSN2?

Literally, nobody. unless they got cut from ECNL. MLS2 is ECRL-why would they take a step down?

FVU players would leave for an MLSN2 team easy. They’re trash, check their standings

Problem would be you wouldn’t want to bring whole Clubs up just certain teams. Clubs wouldn’t like that.
Too much uncertainty about being able to call yourself elite.
Parents might lose their ability to feel superior.
As it stands it’s just marketing.

There are plenty of non-academy teams in MLSNext that beat academy teams. By your logic, each Region would have 10 teams top and play each other 4 times a year. You see the stupidity in that, right?
