Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOYSA has nothing to do with kiddie schedules anymore, long ago they handed over their primary revenue source and league scheduling function to a company called Peregrine, who then outsourced it on the cheap to labor force of one person, for maximum net profits. Who cares about delays and efficiency. They have got you by the short hairs.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYep. And this is what it means to be dealing with a youth soccer monopoly. So keep praying for ECNL to fail - because if they do, OYSA/Timbers/Thorns/Peregrine has a stranglehold on it all. And you think you pay high prices for bad customer service now? You have no idea how bad it will get.
So if your kid is exceptional and worthy of being on development Academy team you don't have to worry about service they paid for you to be there.
But if you're like nearly all the kids at the local clubs you either have to Fork over money to them to be in their leagues and state cups or if you chooses not to be in their oysa sanctioned leagues and state cup .. then you have to Fork over thousands to play way above your weight in leagues with far superior teams.. it's really messed up.

They are only asked to provide a $500 deposit.
I put it UPPERCASE since writing was not possible on this site.
Sorry, for your ignorance and demanding nature about something that is common knowledge for any MLS Development Academy Club program. Which the Timbers are.
