Quite amusing. There are girls on these lists that didn't start on their club's "B" teams. This is awesome!

So what. It’s just soccer.

I really don’t think anyone is under any illusions.

Why do you really care?

Why do you feel the need to put them down?

Calling them "B" teamers is actually building them up...

Oh come on now. This is SOP. Most teams in the local area, Thorns, ECNL and best OYSA teams all have “ B” teamers. I see many of these kids go from OYSA to ECNL or Thorns and end up riding the pine. They then quit and switch from Thorns to ECNL or vice versus and end up warming the bench again.

ECNL is full of the “ B” teamers as well and kids who can’t make varsity at their respective HS.

Sorry your DD didn't make her varsity HS team, again. Four years in a row must be pretty deflating for her, and you...

She is playing up with the older GDA team and she’s not playing HS soccer.

I knew no one would be that stupid. Thanks for clarifying.

It’s hard to get kids to give up high school.

Absolutely, for most it’s the only organized recreational platform left to play after age 15 and it’s dang cheap. The best thing you need only commit for 2 months and a few days.

It fills rosters with members of the student body who are representing the School, with at least 95% of them never even thinking of playing in college.

Since it’s the last chance to play the sport in an organized recreational fashion, “It’s hard to get kids to give up high school.” Spot on.

Elite talents have to give up nothing. They figure this out real quick. That is likely why NWSL Thorns Academy has B team players and thin rosters.

the $4,250 for ten months is only $425 per month. That’s a bargain.

Elite talent plays on National Teams, since we don't occupy this category your statement is nonsensical & frankly pure fantasy as it relates to Oregon Girls. But, you already knew that.

Girls in Oregon are free to play recreational HS it's cheap and fun. Furthermore if parents can afford to cover the costs of playing local neighborhood 8-10 mos club soccer they can sign up for that as well. Very few can afford or entertain the notion of the travel club league platform offered at 2 of the area's local clubs, those girls are forced to give up state club league play. Which only further supports your edict, 'elite talents have to give up nothing', since they are not elite talents they can give up the state club leagues and they could give up HS as well with your logic.

Think much?

Not to mention that the players listed are pretty much bottom of the barrel quality. Thornz Asylum gets worse and worse every year.

There are good players on these lists too. Why do you care, anyway. Good luck to all the players, regardless of league, or high school or not.

Awww! The anonymous poster making comments about another anonymous posters child! You're clearly not very intelligent if you think those comments work.

You’re also not very intelligent if you think HS soccer is any measure of a player.
