So, I know that the Baltimore Bohemians are a PDL affiliate of D.C. United. But I was wondering if anyone else knew which other lower division clubs are affiliated with which MLS clubs... http://kennysfootballscarves.yolasite.com/united-soccer-leagues---premier-development-league.php
The Timbers, Sounders, Whitecaps, and Fire all have U23 squads in PDL. The Red Bulls have a team in NPSL. The Union are affiliated to Reading in PDL and Harrisburg in USL-Pro.
At one point the Rapids were affiliated with Real Maryland (when they were a USL and not a PDL team), I'm not sure if that's still the case though. They also work with the Real Colorado Foxes (PDL) but I don't know if there's an official arrangement.
I think our Real Maryland is currently not affiliated with any American clubs (well, they have two youth affiliates), but they do have an arrangement with Real Sporting de Gijon in Spain... I'm also pretty sure that the Crew have the Michigan Bucks, and Toronto FC have Forest City London and North Mississauga... http://kennysfootballscarves.yolasite.com/united-soccer-leagues---premier-development-league.php
