Westside runs Thorns Academy now, using local coaches that were at FC, Eastside, BSC, etc. in the past.
Neither a good nor bad thing, but the "Thorns" association with NWSL team lessens every year.
That is not entirely a bad thing - some of the NWSL franchises are barely hanging on (Thorns an exception).
But spare us the whole "pro affiliation" - just another local club with a pro team on their jersey. Should be judged by its end product, not which pro team it has on its jersey.

NWSL Thorns & MLS Timbers DA are not part of US Club or USYS, also they aren't a non-profit 501c3 community club.
Two paths for our community players:
Local Club or
Pro Team DA
If my kid had the chance of course we would choose the Pro team DA based on coaching, level of Opponents, as a boy it's all paid for, for a girl all travel is covered not to mention the direct linkage to the US Youth National teams, Pro club training & of course the constant presence of US Soccer Staff coaches and it's the top tier for youth in this Nation.

Reality break, why would you attempt to argue the MLS Timbers & NWSL Thorns are not professional Soccer clubs playing in the highest league this country offers. The same is documented for their DA program branch.
Everytime you post: the pure unfiltered ignorance and denial is simply palatable to the readers.
Please don't spare us, the departure from reality is simply awesome! Go Get it!

So are thorns a westside team or eastside? I saw a huge thorns banner at eastside.
Either way I suppose it is better than nothing.
If they allowed high school they would probably get better players. Just saying.

The MLS & NWSL Pro teams that have in house US Soccer Development Academies are only following the directives of US Soccer.
With your wisdom and insight on display here maybe you should reach out to US Soccer with your feeling?
On the forum it's become just yet another childish & sophomoric retort without any traction.
