At the end of my last piece summarizing the Hudson Valley youth soccer landscape, I promised to turn next to what are considered the absolute highest level youth leagues in North America, MLS Next and ECNL.

MLS Next and ECNL have their issues for sure, but both offer incredible, exclusive playing opportunities so it’s important to be aware of them as you plan for the future of your young baller.
