    Nobody said they get the best players! It’s a game and should be fun. Worrying about wins and losses is short sighted. Stop bashing the players.

      The Thorns and Timbers DA are goverened by US Soccer as such the HS aged kids they select and subsidize do pass on playing HS.The the same is trur for all DA Pro club players, no data supports that Pro Clubs DA aren't getting the countries most elite youth. Data supports using the only measurement avaialable and quantifiable the % of DA kids at pro clubs beung selected for Youth and Senior Nat teams. Which is in the 90% range.

            The DA has thousands of former HS players, giving those not selected for a DA, specifically HS JV or 'B' team players an opportunity to play Varsity pre maturely, due the ascension to a DA.

            Always a positive thing.

              It’s none of your business if the gda has former B team players. Why do you care anyway.

                From another perspective I'm proud to say may lifelong 'B' club player was able to able to make the HS JV this fall and due to my husband's promotion at wor we could now afford to have her play for an 'A' team since this club team couldn't fill out a complete roster due to the high cost of travel in the ballpark of 10K annually, we jumped at it.. So even though we know she is a "B" club level player we can now tell everyone she is on the 'A' travel club team. It's awesome.

                  B team players might be good but just not applying themselves.

                    You don’t get it. It’s not about wins and losses. That attitude is part of the problem.

                      The case above says differently, they applied with cash and things are good.

                        Thorns is only about four thousand dollars per year. That’s cheap.

                          Never said anything about it we won or not. We did win more than once and it wasn’t even close.

                          Even if we lost those games, there wasn’t much to be happy with if you are the thorns.

                          Says a lot when you can get dominated 10 miles away but think you need to play another below average team 500 molies away.

                          That attitude is part of the problem. Elite my assz

                            Part of it is about wins and losses. We are not talking about U8 rec league soccer and mom is coaching.

                              If they have "B" team players now then they've improved over previous years where the GDA was primarily "C" teamers.
