For the first time in club history, Atlanta United is sending four academy teams to MLS NEXT Cup in Salt Lake City. Here's what's at stake for the U-13, U-14, U-16, and U-18 squads.

Former U.S. Men's National Team captain Carlos Bocanegra has launched Atlanta FC, a new youth soccer club for boys U-8 through U-13 built around a one-team-per-coach development model. Tryouts are May 18-20 in Brookhaven.
