Reserve Team, B Team - What Should MLS Do? by Dave Clark on Jan 22, 2012 4:45 PM PST in MLS Dreams and Fantasies In the past week discussion in England has sprung up regarding the right way to handle a reserve league. The current system is somewhat similar to what MLS currently has, where the reserve teams operate outside of the league pyramid. Andre Villas-Boas, manager at Chelsea, wants the English to try to adapt their system to be more like Spain and Germany, where the reserve teams become "B" sides that operate within the pyramid. MLS has similar issues with its Reserves, but no entrenched history at the lower pro level. Some teams use their Reserves to keep deeper senior players fresh, while others use their 10 games to develop roster spots 21+ and get Academy players a taste of the pros. The idea of integrating Reserve teams with lower leagues in America isn't new on this site, but in light of the recent news out of England I revisited the topic with Adrian Hanauer at practice on Saturday http://www.sounderatheart.com/2012/1/22/2726210/reserve-team-b-team-what-should-mls-do

At the USL annual general meeting, the United Soccer Leagues informed its member clubs of a proposed agreement with Major League Soccer that would provide for an integrated third division/MLS reserve league. Some interplay is expected to begin in 2013, with full integration of the plan coming in 2014. The details as understood are: 1. If an MLS city has a USLPRO team nearby, MLS will provide 5 players and pay their salary. 2. If there’s no USLPRO team, the MLS reserve side will become a new, permanent team in USLPRO. 3. All USLPRO teams will have an MLS affiliate. It’s unclear at this point how far along the proposal is, though separate sources have confirmed that discussions are ongoing. http://www.insidemnsoccer.com/2012/...-league-into-americas-lower-divisions-part-2/ http://www.thedailywiz.com/2012/12/...alks-to-integrate-reserve-league-with-usl-pro http://nasn.tv/2012/mls-working-with-usl-pro-on-reserve-league-integration/
How the reported MLS/USL Pro Reserve League deal could help the Canadian Clubs The recent reports surrounding a possible integration between Major League Soccer (MLS) and USL Pro to form a reserve league in an effort to get young players more games have really got me thinking. I can definitely see how this would help North American soccer as a whole - and specifically the American markets - but what, if any, impact does this have on the Canadian market? And what can the Canadian clubs do in a similar vein? http://www.rednationonline.ca/Articles2012/HowthereportedMLSUSLProReserveLeaguedealc.aspx
