(Actually, the three DA girls probably spent a fair amount of coin, given that GDA is only been around for two years and many of those programs were in ECNL previously).

I bet you Cu Ecnl charged them almost 2x as much.
Also salmon creek player didn’t have to travel near as much and didn’t have to put up with the dumb 24 player roster cu tried to do.
Oh the gcu player that was at cu was at Washington Timbers for 4 years before she went to cu for one year.
Speaks a lot that both those kids got to better programs then many of the cu Ecnl kids who were there since the start.

But don't let the truth get in the way with your persistent need to bash ECNL.

OYSA Club
Hi all:
3 ECNL
3 DA
5 neither
The above stat is great. Hope to see everyone at the OYSA club tryouts next year. Save some money for the the other 75% of school cost your soccer scholarship did pay for.
The people posting CU was loose to JHS are crazy by the way, nuts.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSo 11 Oregon girls are committed to this GCU that is #271 of D1 and a college many have never even heard of... Is there some kind of connection between Oregon and Grand Canyon?
The players here in Portland Metro fit that level like a glove. The players that are around here are your typical “271st” in Div 1 school.
Honestly, I think our local Community College (Clark) probably plays better soccer and could beat them....but....Arizona is waaaaaay better weather in the winter.

The problem arises when a player from an outlying area (Bend, Medford, Eugene, and Salem to some degree) is motivated, but the team for her age group isn't skilled enough or motivated enough to get her into events where she needs to be seen.
And this right here is where OYSA fails players the most. What they should do is encourage some composite Timbers Alliance teams to form. These teams could go to a few of the bigger events that girls from Medford and Bend and Eugene might not get to go to. But OYSA, the organization with a stranglehold on youth soccer in Oregon, has no interest in something like that.
And in advance of the inevitable, yeah, ODP does this. But ODP ends right when kids trying to get recruited need exposure the most. Again, keeping in mind that these are not the .1% top level players, remember they aren't committing freshman and sophomore year, when ODP is still a thing. These kids are looking junior and even senior year - and there's no ODP at those ages.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNice, love when adults torch kids for making smart decisions. Going to College and playing a sport is a huge commitment, especially D1. GCU is a great choice and I am sure they will work out these women’s soccer issues. Cheers to all Oregon girls that get to continue there education and compete in sports at the D1 level. Anyone who throws shade in these fine young ladies direction should think about it for a minute before they go to the dark side!!!

If that's crazy or nuts to you, congrats on recognizing your lunacy.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhile everything you say is true, we already have the composite OYSA team you speak of: it’s called Thorns Academy. The only problem is OYSA players on non-composite teams from Vancouver, Eugene, Bend, Medford, Salem and all the metro areas are already getting players into D1 schools like Oregon, Oregon State, USC, GCU, etc without being on a composite team so there really is no need to travel away from your local club.
