If bio-banding is allowed, seems they forgot to tell the other clubs besides Atlanta United. Not sure about the National Playoffs but based on the "Team List" for the Boys ECNL Showcases, it looks like AU will be attending both ECNL SC and Florida 😮😷😮 |

They have teams signed up for U15, U16 and U18/19 for SC. The U17s aren't signed up for either. Their U17s are the only Southeast Conference team not signed up for SC across the four age groups. All Southeast Conference U16s and U17s are signed up for FL...except for AU. |

So AU’s straight-up U14s were losing to CF Platinum U14 0-2 at the half. Then they bring in two 06 U15 “bio-banded” players (which is a farce - they were the biggest players on the field) to play the whole second half against a team with only 3 real defenders and therefore zero defensive subs. All you parents constantly talking about them playing kids up in age group, just shut your mouths. That place kills players and this latest classless act is from your academy. Remember one thing - it’s run by the same people the run the Falcons with the addition of some European flunkies sprinkled throughout. They are they Cobra Kai of Atlanta soccer and they’re always willing to sweep the leg. ECNL doesn’t allow bio-banding but it seems like Atlanta United Academy avoided that problem by playing ECNL friendlies only. Still against the spirit of the league and AU should probably stop this practice and save bio-banding for MLSNext. |

Are the games against AU not just considered scrimmages? Doesn’t seem fair that they would play their u13 team Saturday against one team and their u14 Sunday? It appears like AU is using their U13s against weaker competition and saving their U14s for when they play Nasa, UFA, or Concorde’s top team at U14ECNL. |

Because maybe AU discussed this with Concorde beforehand and they were okay with it because it’s a friendly and meant to get the best competition possible. The spirit of the game is to compete and make the best game possible. |

yea, once the world discovered AU was just playing a friendly ecnl schedule, that changes things drastically (yes, I discovered in an article on www.beinsports.com/us/). But, I'm assuming the AU coach in either an email or before the game asked the concorde coach if it was he was cool with them playing the bio banded players or not. That would just be common courtesy and 2 coaches being collegial. |

There is no biobanding allowed and all players must be on the official game sheet, no hand write ins allowed. Your coach would have to have allowed the AU hand write ins, the refs would have brought it to their attention. Your coach could have refused to allow the write ins |

Concorde have had a tough start to life in ECNL so it is impressive that they were able to compete with AU, especially if it's true about the 06 kids playing the second half. UFA 07s will probably give AU 07s a very good game when they match up. |

Concorde’s top team played against 2 boys who were older and that’s the reason they went from up 2-0 to losing 5-2? You guys aren’t going to give the other boys who were subbed in and were 07’s any credit? I didn’t see one 06 score in that match. People aren’t mentioning the keeper switch and Concorde’s own interesting subbing. |

If they are official games then AU broke the rules by bringing two 06s on (If true). If they are playing 07s against stronger teams and 08s against weaker teams then the overall standings will not be truly reflected. |

Not sure how updated this is but AU isn't showing any points. Not official, they are just getting in extra matches and scouting.
Change the age to U14 for this thread

I just note is it not permitted per ECNL rules and it was a game on the ECNL schedule. Now we know all these AU games are friendlies. |

The U15 team appears to have 8 2025's and a 2026, who has to be an 07. Its certainly conceivable that they could have a few 07's on the U15 roster.

Lemme guess they brought down some of the homegrown players who the public aren't aware of but have signed with AU and will be announced shortly, plus a couple of short AU2 players and then held the game at the training grounds on the show field so no one could report back about the injustices and the rule breaking when in fact the clubs and coaches have already discussed and agreed on the parameters of the game(s). But otherwise, CF Premier would have won right. But wait isn't it against the rules and the spirit of sports for a lower aged team to beat up on an older aged team, would that be considered bullying in this day and age? Asking primarily for a friend 😳😷😳 |
