    Looking at EDP standings, there are teams that have only played 1 or 2 games so far

    Did they give up? Do the kids just stop practicing and playing?

        Some teams -- both good and bad -- are having trouble getting fields. Some formerly good teams lost a large number of players to MLS Next and are having difficulty getting guest players to fill out a competitive roster. Several MLS kids who had been playing for a certain EDP team reputedly recently got caught by their MLS clubs for violating of MLS rules. That is having a further chilling effect on EDP clubs being able to put together teams with guest players. Will also be interesting to see what happens Memorial Day weekend. Certain clubs who had been planning to field starting lineups of mainly MLS players might not be able to do so given the talk about some MLS clubs cracking down.

          What? EDP teams playing MLSN Players in the EDP Memorial Day Cup is a time-honored tradition! How dare they.

            State cup conflicts don’t help.

              I really do not think that it is due to the coach just not submitting scores, because if that were the case, the other coach would have done it if they won, and I doubt the coaches of these teams are sitting on 6-0 records and just do not want to post them

              These are just the ones I did with a quick search of boys and girls U12 teams. Some on these teams have multiple games scheduled for the same day and things like that.

                I bet you half of these games have been already played but the refs are too lazy to put in the score.

                  In a way it is really sad. Many kids brag that they are better than others because they make an MLS club but then want to play with the other kids in tournaments.

                    Right, and the lazy refs for some reason keep being the refs for just a couple teams.

                          Don't coaches do it? Whenever we win our score is in within 5 minutes, even if we are away. Our coach is really good with the management part, I figured he did it.

                            Very few MLS Next kids would risk putting on a Jersey to guest play for EDP teams in tournaments.

                            There aren’t many MLS Next teams in NJ too. Some posts make it sound like many do this.

                            First, practice 3X per week, games EVERY WEEKEND, then soccer activity required outside of practice and games depending on club.

                            There’s no time,

                              We have played only 2. Have 4-5 still to play. Not ideal, but just the way it landed.
