    Who are we to judge? I thought there was a Looney that commutes to WC from Albany.

      Not every game, but watched NEFC play some pretty crappy competition in GDA. Once they go the way of Stars and PDA, there will be even less quality in the northeast...

        Therein lies the one of the biggest issues with USSF. If they're going to force NT prospects to stay in GDA, even if that means staying with a crap GDA club, it will never succeed. GDA doesn't capture all the talent and some players simply don't have a decent GDA option near them.
        Worry about the NT is stupid. From a story about press:

        "Everyone thinks if they’re not on the U14, U-16, U-18 national team, they don’t have a chance. Look at Christen. She wasn’t on the national team radar until after she finished college! She was never on a youth national team. None of those sixteen-year-olds we played that day ended up playing on the World Cup winning team with players the same age! "

        Just work hard wherever you play.

          Yes, and she really isn't even that good, besides there are like 40 players on that team.

              ***? Mock a silly commute time but not a kid. Don't be an ass.

                Players do this by just joining the gda team after high school season ends. There are lots of examples of this so it does not seem to be a problem.

                  Another reason GDA has serious credibility issues

                    Oh come on. It's a soccer league for kids like others. separate marketing from reality. Is some kids want to play HS and find a good match at a Gda club as well...no one cares

                      There are quite a few girls making that drive and they think it’s worth it so....

                        Most of the commits at Penn State committed while they were in ECNL

                            Not less than, and not more than, 1.

                              Any predictions on what the ECNL meeting in Vegas is all about? (Did all of the ECNL DOCs really have to fly out to Vegas for this announcement?)

                                Did they HAVE TO? No. But, it's a free trip to Vegas paid for by the ECNL (probably the NPL) parents at your club, so why not go out, live luxuriously for a few days, drink, gamble, and womanize? Beautiful!
