Yeah, I highly doubt they will allow double rostering- especially since it would involve several Aug+ kids per team. Our club fills each team with 18 kids.

A) Stick with that team. (BY)
B) Go to ECNL (SY)
C) Try to get them biobanded for the MLSN1 team at their SY level.
D) Play MLSN 2 (SY)


The difference is MLSN allows you to play two games a day as long as you don’t go over 80-90 min of playing time. So some Aug- December players will play 40-50% with BY team and other with the SY team.

So lots of playing opportunities for Aug to Dec kids will be available with MLSN going forward.


More Alice in wonderland nonsense


Total game changer. If players can play both SY/BY at the same time. I’ll
Definitely keep my son in MLSN over ECNL. Was thinking about a switch as a sept born player but now he can stay with his team and get additional playing time as an older player as well.
. Don’t that will happen. I think they did away with the futures that could be rostered in both 1 and 2, clubs will say whatever to retain people

Doesn't 18 on gameday roster makes 50% game time about average for all?

Sounds like someone trying to generate FOMO.


This will all be known by tryouts next spring what’s really going on. So no fomo for now.

The only Fomo happening are the ECNL parents freezing their butts off in KC wishing they were at the GA Norco event.

Any news about it?



Wait what! So at u13 aug+ birthdays are forced to make mlsn1 or forced to repeat pre-Mlsn? They can’t play up on u13 homegrown? Or is that u14 HG? This is all so confusing!!!
