For Example no Breakers or Penn Fusion kids because neither club will be ECNL next year. There may be Stars and PDA kids included that will play for their club's DA teams next year, but the clubs themselves are still part of the ECNL.
    So Pay attention. GDA will act the same. Maybe an exception here and there but few. The leagues and clubs use the players that can help the league. The players use the leagues and clubs that can help them. Do not misunderstand that this is a business.

      Its petty behavior from adults and shows how transparent agendas are. Kids who were invited to pdp's and graded out at the very top "suddenly" became not good enough to be invited to the finale ?

      Hmm. I wonder why.

      Marketing? All it shows is how devalued the brand is going to be because its becoming clear that a meaningful number of elite players will not be there next season.
      How do you know they were graded out at the "very top"??

          Its not the point of the thread at all. Its sad when kids get stuck in the middle.

          The camp will include approximately 85 of the top female youth soccer players born in 1999, 2000, and 2001 from across the United States. Players have been selected based on their performances at ECNL competitions, ECNL/id2 PDP events and other events throughout the year. In addition, the id2 2002 National Girls Selection and the top 14 players born in 2002 from the id2 Training Camps held over the past 12 months will be participating in the camp.

          Participants will have the opportunity to play with and against the best athletes in the country and be coached by an elite staff of youth coaches from across the country.

          No they haven't

              You truly are an idiot if you think some of the kids doing GDA next season and excluded are not among the areas better players. You are even dumber if you think this represents the top 99 players in the country.

              But kudos to you for trolling and missing the point.

              The people we are entrusting our kids development to really dont care that much about it. They care a lot more about the $$ associated with it. ECNL parents whose kids are going to the GD have paid , just like everyone else for a full season.

                eCNL was founded by Christian Lavers, exec vp of usclubsoccer. DA could not come to an agreement? Draw your own conclusions, but I am not buying it. The ones that lose are the kids.

                    I don't know about ECNL founders or VPs of US club soccer but one thing is for certain the ones that lose here are the kids. Very sad that club soccer has become just a business. There is not one club out there who can honestly say they make their decisions in the best interest of the kids. If that were true, they would ask the players & parents for input prior to shoving DA, ECNL, NPL and whatever other alphabet league you can think of, down the paying customer's throat. And you parents who are footing the bill are total suckers.

                      Why is that? Because your child is given the opportunity to earn significant athletic scholarship and will not burdened with student loan debt? Here's a secret for you - 99.9% of us could care less about the WNT except as a fan when they are in the WC or Olympics.

                        That is not fair. Not every club and operates like that. There are still volunteer community clubs. The high level and very expensive clubs and leagues are business focused and they can be very successful. But they are not overly concerned with any individual player if that player cannot help their business.

The ECNL honchos dont care about the kids. They really dont. They dont want some kid going to Seattle and crushing it, knowing full well they are leaving to go to the DA.
                          Anyone that lit up the ECNL is getting an invite to a NT camp. Scoring a bunch of goals vs weak teams is not "lighting it up" if you were doing that vs top teams, you got a look.

                            Lol you give the USSF way too much credit in talent evaluation. One of the top scorers in the whole league wasn't invited because of the ECNL politics.

                              team manager kids are a lock for invites to the ecnl camp. All players from stars, moms were team managers at one point. Very good players but not the best.
