Atlanta United is one of three clubs from Georgia that joined the MLS new youth-development platform.
Other clubs that joined are Lanier Soccer Academy and Southern Soccer Academy.
The initiative was the result of last month’s dissolution of the Development Academy run by U.S. Soccer. Sixty-five clubs that were in the DA are now part of the MLS platform, which has 95 teams composed of more than 8,000 players.
The platform will focus on “year-round competition, as well as player-identification initiatives, coaching-education opportunities, and additional programming to create the premier player-development environment,” according to MLS.
