Start by looking at U13 and up and seeing where all those kids have come from. Like someone mentioned above more than 70% of those kids on the U13, U14, U15 and up came from clubs that Redbulls added at the U13 level.

redbulls has a system and it works. Grab as many great 8, 9 and 10 year old kids win at the pre academy age and keep the ones you want to build around.

Assumptions is based off opinions. Facts are numbers that can’t be argued. At the MLSnext age and up there is less than 30% of original pre-academy kids on those teams. This is not an assumption this is factual!!!

Isn’t it common knowledge though that kids develop at different rates and times. The best 8 year old usually isn’t the best 12 year old and the best 12 year old usually isn’t the best 17 year old. Lots of the kids the Red Bulls are pulling in at 14 weren’t good enough at 10. I dont think it’s that Red Bull are not developing kids.

So what are the clubs? You seem super knowlegable about the process... enlighten us. Is it one club that "developing" kids? 2? Or is the "development" just kids from all around the tri state area who matured late? Lots of generalizations, but no one can give an answer about these wonderful "development" situations that are better than NYRB. Who are these mastermind coaches? What traits do they exhibit?

It’s NJRB from now on!

[Guest]

Anyone know the NEAL scores for the games that happened?

Philly Union has a better academy.

[Guest]

at least Red Bulls is free! And 2011 Red Bulls have gotten the better of Philly Union lately. They play against each other again next week.

Scores today were
Red Bulls 4 - Penn Fusion 0 in Acela.

Red Bulls 9 - FA Euro 2 and
Red Bulls 7 - Manhattan Kickers 0 in NEAL.

Red Bulls are almost never the biggest and strongest out there, but probably the most skilled. All the people saying most of the kids would get cut last year were wrong. Let's see how this year goes. All the new players are good too though

Lol you serious? How many kids got cut ? Go watch the 2010s they are monsters. If those 2011s now don't hit a growth spur by next spring they are done. A full side field will weed out the kids that can't run let alone play at the high level.

Dont know if anyone said most would get cut, but I know people said a lot of kids would get cut and they did. Red Bulls had 3 teams last year - around 30 kids between NY, North and South. This year they have 24 kids… of those 24, several are new (at least 4). So over 10 of the 30 from last year were cut. 1/3 - 1/2 cut. Is that correct?

Also, what is the purpose of Red Bulls playing in the NEAL league in the 2nd (White) Flight against different clubs “B” teams. Seems like a complete waste of time for a MLS club to play teams at that talent level with that much travel involved. For example playing such a weak team like FA Euro? What does that accomplish? FA Euro finished behind the BW Gottschee 2nd team in their EDP flight last year. Why are the Mighty Red Bull teams playing them.

Yeah, it's not like parents didn't ask the same question.

Gussing it's so both of their teams aren't in the same flight, even though that's the case in Acela. Maybe it's not allowed in NEAL to have two teams in same flight? For the two RB teams, the composition of the teams is basically arbitrary since kids swap back and forth. Between also playing in Acela, the top NEAL and friendlies, think there's enough high level competition to go around. I admit the easier teams end up being more of a practice session, and there are days with two games in the same day, which can also mean lots of driving.

Right now it means consistent game time for all of the players. Wish every game could be challenging too. At least it seems like the RB team that gets the easy game alternates.

Scores from Neal and Acela this weekend?
