How do you play MLS NEXT if you are 10, 11, or 12 years old? I'm the Youth College Soccer Guy and I help you play college soccer and play MLS NEXT or ECNL in under 60 seconds. You must look at the colleges you want to go to, look up the coaches' names, and find out where they are coaching club soccer in your nearby area. 95% of the time, the college coaches that you want to play for one day are coaching at a club team. For example, Tudela, which is a very good women's program, the UCLA coaches coach at Tudela. So if you want to one day play Division I soccer or even UCLA, Tudela is a good place to start. The coach of UCSB used to coach at LAFC SoCal. College coaches often, in order to secure their income, coach club soccer also. Which means if you cannot get a hold of them, the other thing to do is to go to their middle school camps of the actual college. At these middle school camps, you will get an opportunity to sometimes meet the coaches or to meet their assistant coaches, so then eventually you could even talk to them about joining their club teams. If you want more help, give me a call, links in the bio. That was under 60 seconds. See you later, bye.
