Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3549502, member: 153"] I really have no idea what is happening anymore with youth soccer. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/05/13/mls-elite-youth-development-platform?fbclid=IwAR16EojZRkK8wt2eNq4RgT7MfUYvsIgjGTjPx6EJ0NUhqOz49JFD-tEDam4[/URL] The MLS has created its own youth league. But heavens to betsy, it is the same 95 DA clubs from the now defunct DA. So, was it US Soccer throwing in the financial towel and not supporting the DA which killed it? Because clearly, MLS clubs have no qualms about travel or the level of competition, as was rumored. If anything, there will be a slight drop in competition with this new MLS league (given the lack of support from US Soccer). My kid's club is one of the founders, apparently, of this MLS thing, which is no surprise. There were 90+ DA clubs. There are 90+ MLS clubs now. [/QUOTE]
