Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDaughters former club teammate never rarely got off the bench for club and now flies to North Carolina to rarely get off the bench for thorns. Your point? Our state is too saturated with “elite” teams. Thorns made this worse not better.
Our state is too saturated with gullible neighborhood club parents that have disposable income to waste. That makes them 'elite', right? It's a thriving business for the scam artists, who aren't qualified to coach a potato, they pick an unquantified league, fly all over the country and call it exposure. Hook, line & sinker.
Matey.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThorns is a tough sell for most families and kids. The Guaranteed Playing time rule helps them to convince kids to join up. Imagine if your kids was languishing on the bench on a Clackamas or PCU team and you got the call from the thorns. Of course your daughter will say no because she wants to play high school JV soccer. But then the subject of guaranteed playing time comes up and she might be swayed.

OYSA parents, keep convincing yourself that playing in the Yakima Valley Rodeo invitational is going to get your DD on the radar. At least ECNL has visabiltity over OYSA.
Keep telling yourself that Ecnl makes your kid elite when said elite kids could make top OYSA teams.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo, you had it right without the correction. Clark CC will be scouting your games along with Mt. Hood CC. You'll have to promote your daughter if you want to go anywhere else.
"But but but I was on an Ecnl team..."
Someone lied to you and that doesn't mean anything in in Oregon...just that you paid more to then find out that you can't even make a thorns team...

Massive amount of u18s on fc Ecnl and cu Ecnl that can't even make an intermural team...
Ecnl is a scam. All you have to do is pay attention.
