Then why hasn’t it already been done? I smell BS
Since there are articles about it, I’m hearing they are also listening to the MLS league idea. I don’t know the status of the league or any info on it other than what the news articles have published.

Yeah, a parent was on earlier and said they had been told they were rejected. My guess is that with 4 NOVA ECNL clubs that one or more of them blocked adding a 5th.

Well to be fair, it is one of several places in the area for futsal. Puma elite and dc hyper are pretty damned good as well.

Major League Soccer announced the launch of a new elite youth competition platform intended to provide year-round high-level matches for MLS club academy teams and non-MLS academy teams that previously participated in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy which ceased operations.
The new platform will provide elite competition against domestic and international teams, and MLS is evaluating expanding participation to include clubs beyond the former Development Academy.
“Major League Soccer is deeply committed to developing world-class players through an elite competitive pathway, from our academy teams through the professional game,” said Todd Durbin, MLS EVP of Competition & Player Relations in a statement. “As we look ahead to the 2026 FIFA MLS World Cup here in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, now more than ever it is incumbent on us to establish a competition that sets a new standard for elite youth play and allows athletes to achieve their full potential.”
“We are seeing significant contribution to the quality of play in MLS from homegrown talent,” said Jeff Agoos, MLS Senior Vice President of Competition, Operations, and Medical Administration, two-time World Cup veteran with the U.S and five-time MLS Cup winner. “As we currently have 2,500 elite players and 250 top youth coaches in our academies, MLS is uniquely positioned to provide a new and enhanced platform that will include high quality coaching, professionalized environments and enhanced player identification.”
The new platform will include league season matches and both regional and national tournaments with international teams. It will also expand coaching education and improve the approach to player identification to ensure top players have the opportunity to participate in a high-level development environment.
“Participating in high quality, competitive matches on a consistent basis is essential to the development of our young players,” said Fred Lipka, Vice President and Technical Director of MLS Player Development. “Launching this new competition will allow us to consistently challenge players, staffs and teams, optimizing the potential of every player on the field.”
In addition, MLS is evaluating the potential to provide future competition opportunities for girls.

Girls are really screwed. Oh well youth soccer!
Yep there is no way they will touch the girls side. Just too many lawsuits waiting to happen.

^ American kids are already victims of the youth soccer business, USSF and the egotistic directors. So-yes- I feel sorry for all of them.
P.s. many of those kids did no earn it. You are naive.

I know. Right?
However, it sucks to be told merely a month ago you are getting boys expansion and the next month you are getting ZERO on boys and girls side.
The writing was on the wall as they kept removing USsDA age groups and MLS DA was doing so as well at the younger ages. USSF/USDA were stringing people along. I don’t know why they were granting expansion when the writing had long been on the wall.
However, these clubs are famous for stringing players along themselves so I have zero sympathy for them. Maybe they’ll understand how it feels to be lied to.
Karma. Can’t say I feel a bit of sympathy after the way many of those coaches/directors treated young kids.
But what about the kids? Karma? No sympathy?
These kids have worked hard to get on those teams. You’re cruel. I feel horrible for them.
