Battle of the bio-bands: academy U-15s preview

As we’ve pointed out all year, the New York Red Bulls are getting younger everywhere - and the youngest levels of the club are becoming that much more important as the age groups tighten.

The academy U-15 group this year will be coached by long time Red Bull Academy figure Simon Nee, who like Jonathan Rhodes, is moving up an age group. This will be Nee’s second season with this group of kids, an interesting one as you have a few 08’s younger than the typical bracket. It is a really strong class for Red Bull, who have been playing up a bracket with much of this group since last year with a few bio-banded players.
