    It’s really hard.

          Please update the list below as needed. I am sure that it has changed and some are unaccounted for. If your argument is that the Thorns commits formerly played ECNL or OYSA, ask yourself why they left? If the ECNL is so elite, why are they not dominating below? Based on the rhetoric from the previous posters in multiple threads, you would think that there is a clear advantage to the ECNL but the #'s do not support this argument. Seems like there are at least three good options for girls in the Portland metro area. Anyone arguing against any of the three probably are employed by one of the other clubs/academies or are a frustrated parent trying to justify the $ that they are shelling out. The truth is that everyone listed below should be proud. Naysayers can continue with their miserable existence.

            Wow, crazy obsessed. How long did it take you to type that? Way to go Thorns DA. Where are the boys results?

              Did Timbers ever publish an '06 roster? Has that team started training together yet?

                The top DA clubs don’t start until August 1st. The little DA clubs break that rule and start now

                  I am no patient enough to wait around for someone. I will literally get up and leave if my lunch appointment is 5 mins late. I have things to do.

                    No and no. TA starts in August. Didn't someone on here already identify the roster in vague terms? TA has no need to publish anything. It doesn't matter that curious minds want to know. If you want to know about a specific player, lay it out and I am sure someone can tell you if he made it or not.

                      TA doesn’t follow rules either. No 10 month season, no futsal, no min start percentages, not all A licensed coaching staff.

                        Why do you say that?

                          Very funny. Starting percentages are on the game reports and player profiles and they don’t meet the minimum requirements. Some reports even falsify rosters, marking some players as rostered with game minutes when they didn’t set foot on the pitch. There was no Futsal last year other than a few games that a handful of players snuck off and grabbed in unsanctioned leagues off the radar. Hard to call it a full ten months when June and July are off plus three weeks in December and inclement weather days given no indoor training facility. I guess you get what you pay for and this is only a $500 membership fee, although DA is not supposed to charge any fees.

                            Futsal not required at those ages. June is not off. Get your facts straight! you sounds dumb.

                            What is $500 compared to $15,000?

                            Can't speak on rosters and minimum starts

                                Futsal not required at what ages? There is supposed to be a winter break AND a Futsal period for ALL ages. TA does no futsal training.https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/201...opment-academy
