Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIn terms of getting into college soccer, ECNL has been very strong over the last four years. Thorns have fizzled over the past four years. Even TA clubs have a pretty good record.
Why have the thorns had such a poor record?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostGiven the fact this is the first year for girls GDA, they haven’t. Crossfire ECNL teams lost almost every game last year and had to hand out fee rides and free kits to attract more kids to come in and spend $7500 a year on Oregon soccer. Who’s the fool now?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe league they are playing in has some of the worst teams in the county so that probably doesn't help.
ECNL got 40 last year so that’s the college track. Even TA teams put numbers into college.
Not every path has to lead to college.

Going to CC won't hinder your chances in being accepted to either.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEvery year for the past four the thorns get blasted for failing to get college signings but they fail mention that it’s a pro track not a college track. Plus i heard most girls don’t stick around for more than one year is that true?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNope. That’s all false! This is actually the first year of the DA program nationally for girls. We will have to better evaluate its success in a few years. The girls will be getting a lot of looks from college coaches in fact this December. Thorns are flying them all to Florida for five days for a DA college showcase. Does ECNL pay for the players airfare and hotel to it’s showcases? Nope didn’t think so.
