Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf you are saying the DA is for the top youth soccer players in the country then why are all the local girls who are getting invited to USWNT camps and playing in international USWNT events coming from local ECNL teams and not Thorns?
Now, US Soccer has has a platform for training and development, if you want to be identified and developed for US Nat team camp selection your club needs to be part of the DA or you can tryout for a DA program in your area.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe problem with thorns is that pro women get paid so little they have to have second jobs to live. Cashier work at the gas station sounds glamorous but it is not. I've done it. Cleaning bathrooms alone is bad plus the fumes and restocking the beef jerky can be hard. There is just too much expected of you. College is a better option than thorns.
Other paths = college.

Thorns = pro path with cashier side job at gas station.
Other paths = college.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is why some families will pay for ECNL. It's a great league for girls to get into who don't have the GPA or SAT scores to really get attention academically so they try and run at colleges through soccer. Hopefully they are multi-sport or they will end up at PSU getting $1500/year scholarships.. which they also could have received just playing in OYSA.
