Anyone know what the rules are for boys playing UPSL? I noticed LAFC has a team. Heard LA Galaxy players are also playing under a different team out of Culver City?
LAFC put the u19s in the upsl Men’s league last year. Came 4th of 141. Next season, they and LAG will play in the MLS Next Pro league.Anyone know what the rules are for boys playing UPSL? I noticed LAFC has a team. Heard LA Galaxy players are also playing under a different team out of Culver City?

MLS only requires its academies to enter teams in U15 and U17. Some enter teams in U16 (e.g., Toronto FC, Atlanta, DC United) or U19 (e.g., Portland, FC Dallas, Sporting Kansas City, FC Cincinnati, Columbus Crew, Minnesota United, New England). LAFC decided to field a U19 team, but didn't enter it in MLS Next. It played that team and those players in UPSL.Thank you so does that mean that MLS Next players are allowed to play UPSL or was an exception made for the MLS Academy players.
Yeah, but for 19s, isn't that the MLS Next Pro... I'm assuming that's required now for 19s, eh?MLS only requires its academies to enter teams in U15 and U17.

Not this year. They allowed teams to keep their USL squads for one more year before moving to MLS Next Pro and both the Galaxy and LAFC (with the Lights) have done that. Even some teams that moved to MLS Next Pro this year still kept a U19 team (and, other than LAFC, entered that team in MLS Next's U19 division).Yeah, but for 19s, isn't that the MLS Next Pro...

Yes. USL and UPSL are two different leagues. All of the MLS USL affiliates will, after this year, transition to MLS Next Pro. This year, however, LAFC is still using Las Vegas Lights for its USL affiliate AND playing it's U19 team in UPSL instead of MLS Next Pro's U19 division.Just to be clear. I'm talking about UPSL not USL
