Originally posted by Unregistered View PostA solid discussion. I find it very interesting that parents are not throwing out more “academies” that would have a solid argument for getting into the ECNL. Maybe it’s because most parents have already been a part of all the clubs watering down talent. The ego check on coaches is destroying development especially in the Shore. PDA south had a valid argument to get in because there is a lot of talent in south to create very competitive teams for the ECNL. If Matchfit North is in the bottom half of the standings year after year it would be interesting for them to be able to create a powerhouse especially with their shore technical director in charge & that being a criteria. But who knows....

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt take me almost an hour just to get to PDA South and would take almost 3 to get to North. So since PDA South moved up to ECNL SJ players would have to drive 1.5-2hrs one way just to practice. Now how many families in SJ have a free parent to do this?

Rule #2: check out plastic surgeries
Rule #3: check out butlers, nannies and personal drivers

You are behind the times. It's not called "plastic surgery" any longer. It's elective physical adjustments.

So now you PDA haters new thing is that anyone who plays for PDA is privileged. What “chips” you people carry on your shoulders. Go look at the most recent PDA commitment list. You think all these players have committed to these colleges/universities because they live privileged lives? By the way there are plenty of players who receive scholarship aid from the club. The fact that you pick this idea of elitism as being the reason of who plays for this club says everything about your self.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf you compare the land area on the ecnl map of club distribution of southern Ca, with what we have in the Northeast, it would be about the same as CT, PA, NY and NJ put together. I am sure you can find an ecnl club for your kid if it is such a priority for you.
