SILVER ELITE
At great park today a parent was talking about Albion and Laguna United both getting HG next year. When is this decided ? Is it for all age groups if it happens? Won’t this water down the mls next teams with so many clubs in SoCal having a HG and AD team at each age group?

You already have clubs struggling to make hg and ad rosters so yes adding anyone at this point (even SoCal elite…maybe riverside excepted) would water down competition. Which Albion…riverside might be the only logical pick.

Per the MLSN site, it is decided at the end of Jan, and communicated sometime in Feb. No idea how they do age group selection, but I'd guess it would be considered per individual team (not all clubs have strong teams at all ages).

Regardless, I also suspect you'll not get any definitive information until MLSN does their announcement; I'd assume any club admins/parents who know are obligated to not say anything before that point.

In December, a Dad whose son plays for Albion SC Santa Ana B13 EA2 told me they (Santa Ana) are getting MLS Next.

Albion Santa Ana I think has ea and ea2. It’s also not a great fit because reds and strikers are already in the area, though as I understood it Santa Ana (like Albion la) has been drifting northward towards Long Beach due to facility limitations in Santa Ana. The entire Albion structure is a big mess in Los Angeles…they should just fold La and send the component parts to Santa Monica and Santa Ana.
