Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Paletta is making history. She’s the first girl to earn a spot on an MLS Academy team – all of the others who have done it previously in MLS Next played for clubs not affiliated with an MLS franchise.
She’s playing meaningful minutes and has a consistent role with her team – on top of that prominent role, New York City FC is one of the best teams in the country. In different terms, the club’s staff has decided to give her a spot on the team even though she won’t play for the first because she is that good.
Paletta’s play at the club level has earned her invites to the US Women’s Youth National Team. She played up two age groups at the U15 level last summer. There’s plenty of reason to believe she is one of the top talents to ever play at the youth level in the US.
The game film backs it up. She’s a technically gifted player who is capable of playing at a faster pace than most in the youth game. Her skill on the ball combined with her soccer smarts makes her a top midfielder in MLS Next at the U14 level.
