Oakwood is a.club with no excuses. They are not like PDA. Stars. World class. Albertson. Trying to maintain a GDAP and ecnl team. Oakwood should never get beat so easy or could it be that Oakwood is just not that good.

MA board reporting just that

The game reports are on the regular gda site and it looks like the commits (oldest age) were generally not rostered for stars and somewhat for breakers. Stars doc appears to have not showed up on report of oldest team anyway. Maybe things look different at younger ages. Seems they played it as a showcase, isn't that the point.

.

That said it's no fun traveling that far, missing a good deal of school, for results like that. Players still want to win. If top players weren't playing and games were poor quality then what impression does that leave with college coaches?

so you are saying that without 3 or 4 kids they lose by massive scores and cant score? Just shows how diluted and generally poor the soccer in the NE really is. Not sure when we are going to wake up to this. Limited representation on YNTs , Poor showing from out local Colleges, getting smashed at GDA events ..... still arguing about nonsense

What does that say about the league or tournament if teams are poor quality. The reason does not matter. Coaches may give them one more shot, but if it happens again, I have to believe, they will utilize their scant recruiting budgets at better tournaments. This does not bode well.

Oakwood's rosters look pretty complete (missing one kid here or there, but most of their top players were in attendance). I see a lot of kids were dual-rostered between 16/17 and 18/19s.

This one is easy to explain. Stars best kids stayed in the ECNL. Period. PDA split theirs which is why they are now average in both. World Class and Albertson sent their best kids to the academy, but neither was good in the ECNL so if they do well in the GDAP that tells you all you need to know about quality.

Of course Stars kids stayed in ECNL. If you were 14-18 this past year and committed, why change? If you were 14-18 and ECNL, why go to GDA, because GDA isn't going to be up and running and credible for more than the four years you might have in the system.

GDA versus ECNL is a big question for current U12 kids, because they are likely to be the first ones who see GDA hit its strude.

GDA was a no-brainer for NPL OW kids, who had no shot at A-level play anyway.

Didn't shoot one goal? How did their centerfielder play? Were there any three pointers?

Can I ask what school you would want to attend thru soccer has a scant recruiting budget?
