The New York Red Bulls U-23 team plays in PDL: a short-sprint summer season that starts in May and is over by August (at the latest).
The team is all-amateur, mostly players who still have a season or two (or three) of college soccer ahead of them. Several players are RBNY Academy graduates, hoping to position themselves for Homegrown contracts in future. Others are prospects the Red Bulls might land in the MLS Draft, or seek to sign to their USL team when they complete their college soccer careers.
The RBNY U-23s play in the Mid Atlantic Division of PDL.
