So is Lone Star SC upset about all the players moving over? Not sure how the politics/interplay between clubs in the area are these days.
Austin FC Academy Set to Kick Off 2021-22 MLS Next Season on Sept. 5 The MLS NEXT regular season kicks off on Aug. 21 and features nearly 600 teams competing in over 9,000 matches over a ten-month calendar. Top players from the country’s leading 134 clubs, including all 29 MLS Academies, will field teams in up to six age groups: U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, and U19. Four (4) of the five (5) Austin FC Academy teams, U13, U14, U15 and U17, will compete in the 2021-22 MLS NEXT season. The 2021-22 season will allow the top prospects in the U.S. and Canada to compete in a ten-month regular season and a chance to become MLS NEXT Champions by winning the MLS NEXT Cup Playoffs in July 2022. New to the second edition of the competition, the 2021-22 MLS NEXT campaign will feature two national events, a winter event and a qualifying event for the annual MLS NEXT Cup Playoffs. Throughout the season, the competition format aims to balance a diversity of opponents and an efficient travel schedule, minimizing flights and hotel stays for the majority of participants, especially at the U13 and U14 age groups. Additionally, the competition will continue to operate under the MLS NEXT Return to Play protocols, ensuring teams are competing in a manner consistent with local, state, and federal health recommendations. https://www.austinfc.com/news/austin-fc-academy-set-to-kick-off-2021-22-mls-next-season-on-sept-5
