*** Update 5/27/25
Thank you for your interest in our MLS NEXT Tier 1 and Tier 2 programs.
We’ve received a number of inquiries regarding Tier 1 ID sessions, so we’d like to clarify that these sessions are invite-only. As stated on our website and registration pages, invitations are extended directly by our MLS Recruitment Team to selected players currently under consideration. If you have not received an invitation currently, it means you are not currently being considered for Tier 1.
However, we encourage all players to register for our open tryouts. These sessions provide an opportunity to be evaluated for MLS NEXT Tier 2, and for some, could lead to eventual Tier 1 consideration.
Many players who attended Tier 1 sessions may already be in the process of being considered for Tier 2. Communication regarding this will be sent out in the coming weeks.
Tier 2 offers significant benefits, including the chance to train alongside Tier 1 players, eligibility for promotion, and access to our MLS NEXT Futures Program. It remains the highest-level alternative league currently available in youth soccer.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
