Recruit, develop, sell, and buy. Selling and buying after they sign a pro contract.

We are not at SYC, but you cannot look at U16-19 to determine what will happen to the younger teams based on the trajectory of teams that formed when SYC was not affiliated with MLS Next (all of the SYC teams above U15 are brand new MLS Next teams this year, and they had little time to try to recruit new players for new age groups.) There is not relegation for specific teams in MLS Next (or in ECNL). Area clubs in MLS Next just obtained the additional age groups, so although it is possible that MLS Next will reevaluate that decision for all clubs in a few years, it is highly doubtful any would lose age groups based on this year's performance.

Thank you for proving my point. If they can’t recruit, they can’t compete because they can’t develop.

You're not too sharp, are you? I did not say they could not recruit. They actually did recruit extremely well at ages (13/14) and time (this past year) when it matters. That's why those teams (especially U13) are really good.

So you agree, they can’t develop?

Just pay attention to your kids age group. Older age groups do not represent any trend for your younger kid. People have pointed out valid reasons for older teams to struggle but you have already made up your mind so won't listen.

Thank you for your input. As puberty solidifies, the results get worse. Yes, you can see an overall trend. Not specific as to why they perform worse, but they do. Development is constant. Perhaps, the development for SYC stops around U14

No, you can't see a trend because SYC kids who wanted to play in higher leagues, IS DA or ECNL left years ago. Those older age groups represent SYC after players left years ago to play in the top leagues.

With SYC now having MLS Next it should serve to retain players who otherwise would have left.

Again, you won't listen.

And why would the younger players stay if older teams fall apart? You’re not making an argument, nor refuting mine.

It’s ok, your stupid.

The talent of those older teams left years ago.

Try and understand.
