    Comparing Stars and Scorps to MPS is absurd. MPS is not even close. MPS is a self serving illusion. Even on the boys side Stars are stronger. Stars, Blazers, NEFC and Bolts are all stronger. Come on now MPS, self praise means nothing.
    NEP is the worst nightmare for the 2nd tier guys. They need to fight it hard. There is no way they can qualify and after suffering the blow of the legit power teams leaving for Region 1 they cant afford to see Stars and Bolts go to NEP. Which if they did it would raise the bar and draw a clear boundary among top clubs and lower ones probably force more mergers and force out the gym teacher clubs as we see happening more and more. Stars Bolts and some Scop teams have promoted their "b" and "c" teams up the MAPLE ladder and we see MPS doing it now and the small guys see the writing on the wall... so although these harsh and mean comments are funny it really is sad when you think of the desparate condition these poor fellows are facing.

      They are in the top three in MA on both girls and boys.

      No other club can say that. That
      was territory only the Bolts had a number of years ago.
      Mathman has U15s ranked 3rd and U16s ranked 8th.

        Is it still just the MPS and Seacoast teams + Bruno and Soccer Domain? Did any other club sign up?

          A lot of interest now but more and wait and see.. they will if they believe the exclusivity of the requirements will make them attractive while driving the price of the 2nd tiers lower forcing their good coaches to leave and eventually out of biz. the bigs may then see an incremental boost to their numbers. Its just smart biz especially if they truly believe their product is superior.

            This would kill the "new biggest club" NEFC. Once again, business decision.

                  Are you trying to say that MPS and NEFC wouldn't qualify?

                        From the new MPS website, no mention of NEP:

                        3. Competition

                        MPS Premier Teams play in the USL Super Y-League as their main League competition.

                        The Super Y-League (www.uslsoccer.com) is designed to cater to the top players in the US who aspire to play in the MLS, USL, in National Teams or abroad. Teams typically play 10 - 14 games. Team that compete in the New England Division are:

                        Seacoast United (NH), New Hampshire Phantoms, Blackwatch (Albany), Blackwatch RI, MPS Crusaders, Nordic Spirit (VT), Portland Pheonix(ME), Ottawa Fury, MPS Boston.

                        Gamesd are played from April through until August.

                        MPS teams also play in the USYS National Cup (State Cup), the US Club Soccer National Cup and attend tournaments throughout the year. The number of tournaments attended depends on the age range of the team - the U16 and U17 will attend 3-4 tournaments a year to showcase the players as much as possible.

                        Tournaments attended in 2009 - MAPS (NJ), US Club Soccer, PDA, Score at the Shore, Disney, Raleigh Shootout

                            Exposed what?

                            Many posters have pointed out all along that MPS will utilize this league alongside Super Y, much as they do now with MASC. My child does not play for MPS, but a few friends do, and they have improved consistently. MPS is doing something right.

                              Agree. Getting more and more competitive and now placing players in Regional pools.
