NPl will be like a 3rd string level. After ECNL, CRL, MLS elite teams... MLS teams will only participate on the NPL U11 and U12..

Awesome. Thanks Apple. NPL was great last year for u11 and u12. Talk was that some of the NPL teams that went from the DA to ECNL were going to create ECNL Jr. But we will see what happens.
 
What role is NPL West supposed to play in the alleged hierarchy? It seems that it will be for Flight 2 teams for the MLS league clubs and possibly Flight 3 teams for the ECNL/ECRL (other than at the younger ages where it may be the flight 1 teams for both leagues)? Or am I just super confused?
For boys I’m assuming it’s going to be
1. Boys ECNL
2. NPL West/CRL
3. Coast SL/ SCDSL

I don’t think there’ll be an ECRL for boys I haven’t seen any legitimate news anywhere.

I would not place the NPL west and CRL as equivalent. More likely SoCal NPL, as they were far superior to NPL west the last few seasons, at least for olders.

Several teams in SD have boys ECRL teams listed as their second teams.

I put them in the same tier because they’re both the 2nd tier leagues for their respective associations; NPL West=USCS & CRL=USYS although I may agree since CRL is qualifying teams only
 
New season players & teams with determine if there really is a hierarchy. Let's see what happens.

MLS-EYDP will make the claim there are top, boys ECNL the same, the NPLs like West, Scnpl, and other will say let's play to determine who's really better and they will get that chance next spring in the usclub Enpl playoffs and finals. After that maybe people can backup who's really tier whatever.

Somewhat silly but people love themselves labels and categories but In reality all that maters is how players and teams perform and develop over a season.

Including supplement leagues like CRL in a hierarchy is like including the national guard in a law enforcement one. Just temporary or moment in time like a tournament. Doesn't matter what you call them or rank them if they get the job done all good.

Are you hearing that LAFC and LAG are returning to training soon, or are you just referring to clubs who’ve signed up for the MLS youth league?

MLS in Socal and other markets. Sounders and others are already back for example.

Galaxy has camps there trying to get going again and the facilities open which would allow them to use for youth teams also.

LAFC has plans to follow what the pro teams did: daily checks, limited numbers at first, just training drills, after they get everyone back for a few weeks progress to the next step, etc
