The new MLS academy league continues to take shape, according to Beachside founder and technical director Mickey Kydes, a key local figure as the next era of elite boys soccer development gets underway.
Kydes reaffirmed that the nascent league would ideally start the weekend of Sept. 12, though the COVID-19 pandemic could derail their plans.
Most competition would require crossing state lines, and a growing number of colleges cancelling Fall 2020 seasons for that very reason (plus others) poses challenges for any national league.
