010A1982

Our Academy U15 and U16 teams are at the Maryland Soccerplex from May 10 to 13 in Boyds, Maryland, to compete in the MLS NEXT Flex, a qualifying tournament for the MLS NEXT Cup playoffs next June.

The MLS NEXT Flex tournament brings together the best MLS and elite academies from the regular season in the categories U15, U16, U17 and U19. Teams are divided into groups of four, with the winner of each group qualifying for the MLS NEXT Cup playoffs in Nashville.

Games for the U15s last 80 minutes, and the classic 90 minutes for the other categories. In the event of a draw, the game will be decided by a penalty shoot-out, with the winner earning an extra point.
