Boyds, Md. – This year’s MLS NEXT Flex competition came to a close on Monday for the Under-16 age group.

With the league switching to the Under-16 and Under-18 age groups for the 2024-25 season, it means that players born in 2008 will once again face another in-between campaign.

Regardless of that, the U16s served up arguably the most impressive, competitive games watched in person. Below are some of the players spotted from games at the Maryland SoccerPlex.
