    Timbers Academy for boys has 3x nat champ products at stanford..

    FC Portland product at Stanford also nat champ and POY.

    On boys side it’s always been FC, WT, and now TA. ET has produced some quality teams players. LO has been average, but have big numbers.

      Foster Langsdorf is a product of Vantucky. There are two other Vantucky players that played for Akron in the Semi’s too. All players moved to the TA at u17

        Fact remains they all played at the Timbers DA, 2 played at Westside and the other at FC prior. Girls clubs around here have no such high level collegiate players to boast about. In reality the fact title ix just gives more opportunities to girls, doesn't mean they are any good or way above the norm, just needed. Supply and demand. Extrapolating this quirk as a measure of quality of the player, club or league is laughable, it's just basic economics.

          Timbers academy taking credit for foster langsdorf from wash t and two other Akron players who played at wash t and westside is utter nonsense and it just further emphasizes the lack of respect and quality the Timbers academy has.

          Starting a club at u17-u18 is near babysitting compared to an education he and every other players gets up to that time.

          Stanford women's won a national title also and they have a wash t player as well.

            ThuSC decimated by CU

            Timbers Academy for boys has 3x nat champ products at stanford..

            LoSC seriously.

            Fc is still in freefall..

            LoSC does have robust rec numbers though.
            Ssc still exists? Not on a competitive level

            Timbers academy is plagiarism if they take credit for foster who was at wash t until u17. The kid from Montana they had for little time as well. You made up the third player. Let's not let facts get in the way.

              Boys get very little in soccer..reverse discrimination..and girls soccer is just plain awful to watch.

              No roi.
              There is an ROI for boy's soccer?

              The girls do well in school and in life.

              Take a look at what happens to most of the top male players in Oregon. You get a handful that do well, but most....

              Look at all of the scholarship money given to Westside players on the boy's side. Who do you think funded the scholarships? How are those boys doing now?

              The ROI is definitely not on the boy's side.

              Soccer is just not fun to watch on the boy's or girl's side. Watch your Timber's Academy, FC Portland, or Westside games. It is not good looking soccer.

                  There is no roi for girls soccer period, you get punished and are forced to watch them play at college, which is purely painful..Title IX created this punishment.

                    Just a few millionaires (MLS), 3 with full rides at OSU, Santa Clara and UCLA. Some went straight to europe. A handful of NCAA national titles...no roi....

                    Oregon Girls club soccer gets you at best book monies or walk on status at non power 5 schools that are forced to field teams. Great choice!

                      What are you talking about?

                      The best male players make 8 figures per year. Now, nobody that good has come from Oregon, but the state has produced its share of pros.

                      Women's pro soccer is not going to make you rich. Due to Title IX and the need to balance men's football, there are more scholarship opportunities for girls, but that pales in comparison to what the guys could possibly get.

                        Look at the ROI from a college education. I know that is beyond your grasp.

                        No **** the best male players making 8 figures.

                        How many males in Oregon are making a decent living out of playing soccer?

                        High school senior players eventually drafted by an MLS team: About one in 1,250, or 0.08 percent

                        Are talking ROI or winning the lottery? That is 2 totally different topics. Are you going to work and invest your savings or buy a lottery ticket. Of course the payout is huge if you win the lottery, but chances are slim and a lot of it is out of your control.

                          Some parents spend 10s of thousands just for the hell of it on local club soccer..kid doesnt play at all in college and parent pays for all of college til they dropout. Better to cut your loses early..jus sayin.

                            A few millionaires (MLS), 3 with full rides at OSU, Santa Clara, and UCLA. Funny that you can list a total of 3 scholarships. That is actually quite sad. The one that went to Santa Clara and UCLA are the ones playing in the MLS so you are double counting.

                            Then you generalize the scholarships offered on the girl's side about book monies or walk on status at power 5 school. You actually have no idea. Thanks to Title 9, there are lots of opportunities and college money for girl's side. It is not fair, but it is the reality. The money comes from college football and basketball... not men's soccer... no one cares about men's soccer. No one cares about women's soccer either, but at least the girl's realize that it equals college money.

                              Invest in strong grades, test scores and civic duty...college costs zero..best roi. Sorry that's not possible for you..too bad .

                                How is that different than on the boy's side? You pay club fees and you pay travel fees.

                                There are a lot more opportunities to play on the girl's side than boy's. Most girls also have good grades so you combine the athletics with the academics. You end up with a pretty good financial aide package.

                                You don't have to be a stud to play D2 or D3 on the girl's side. You still need to be pretty good to even play at the junior college level side on the boy's side.

                                I am not sure if you are in it for the right reason if the main reason for playing soccer is a financial ROI. There are better places to put your money. If you are going to put in the money, the overall ROI on the girls side (value of college money) is much better than what you find on the boy's side. And it is because it is subsidized.
