Alliance, not a merger. Club sends its best players to form ECNL team for ages U13-U19 for boys and girls.
Best SYC boys are not going to play ecnl. They would play mls next.
MLS Next is only for 2009, 2008 and 2007 boys. The rest of the club will be in Alliance.
SYC will be recruiting for MLSnext so not sure how many of the SYC kids will be on MLSnext for those ages...
Based on this partnership it sounds like mls next will likely only be u13 and u14 so no 07s. U15s will have to go to dc United.
This whole thing looks like SYC tops out at U14 for MLSNext which is probably what DCUnited wants because the boys at the clubs that top out at U14 will be trying out for the DCU U15 squad to continue the professional soccer path. If the kid doesn’t make DCU, then the kid and the family need to decide whether to go for the college path (ECNL) or not. With this merger, the college path is sort of inside the club, so that makes it easier to choose.
as far as I know, no one has been "recruited" by DC United for next year
Someone from the 03s said most of the boys don't have the grades for college path either.
I believe 14 players on the 03s are commited to play college soccer next year.
ok it doesn't mean they cant get better players. Also committed to playing is much different than being offed a full athletic scholarship so please dont feed me that BS.

It’s typical of clubs in the area. Come up with something, role it out, think of impact and answer questions later.

That’s nonsense. The only things getting bought are false results and gotsoccer points using guest players developed by other clubs. We know SYC isn’t the only club doing this, but I am surprised they are doing it in mls next. It’s not about presuming that money entitled you to a roster spot. It is about knowing information that can lead you to make an informed decision about where your kid should play. Equally true for families not paying a dime.
Ok maybe its a little more fair to say hope that some MYS families are going to be ok when they precious kids are demoted down a level and no longer on the top teams to make room for some more talent
Totally on board with that. Definitely will the case. But nobody is on board with being on an 18-man roster with 5-10 guest players who may show up for any given match. That’s fraud in terms of both development and results.
How many MYS families are on board with moving dow to play and train with lower level SYC teams. It may be for the better development of the ones sent down. The true people that care will be fine but others who are as they say buying their prestige will complain and feel like its unfair.
Players that don’t make ecnl will not train in combined teams with syc. They will train w mys players only on mys teams. The only combined team is ecnl.
That makes no sense , There are plenty of Mclean kids that would benefit developmentally be training with SYC staff and players.

The rosters can be up to 22-24 for both MLSNEXT and ECNL.
The only ones fighting for a spot are the SYC kids... the part-time kids always have a spot and yes to be fair, they are the better players. They just won't commit to play for the Club so they get best of both worlds, Play for their own club and a guarantee spot in MLSNEXT.
Not sure why the club and MSL allows this.

Dcu is not just a pro path. And mls next is not likely to stop at u14 for affiliates. These kids could already go to McLean ecnl if they do not make dcu. How does the merger make that easier? It’s the same competition regardless.

To be clear, the part time kids do not pay, play for another club, and also participate in all SYC mls next games and practices? I don’t think they will have any spots on combined teams going forward.
