MLS NEXT

De Anza Force is proud to be a founding member of the MLS NEXT elite player development platform. Founded in 2020, MLS Next represents the highest level of boys soccer competition, training, and personal development opportunities available in the U.S. The current membership includes 113 clubs, 489 teams, 9,000+ players across the U.S. and Canada and features over 90% of the current youth national team player pools. While winning games will always be important, MLS NEXT believes success is measured by the growth and development of each player – becoming a better player, growing as a person, attending college and signing a professional contract are the true benchmarks of their success.
