    Better yet, they should try making the DA less of a joke. Seriously, how can the TA care so much about how the ECNL does when their own DA program is an embarrassment.

      Look at that.... It comes down to petty jealousy. It's usually WST when we start seeing these kind of sad personal attacks.

        Very very very few Pac 12 commits from outside the ECNL. Very very very few.

          Actually, very very few from Oregin, even with the magic wand of ECNL, very very very few.

              With that logic, no one in Oregon should even be playing club soccer & traveling all over the state for games. There are at most a couple girls each year that go to a decent D1 school. 2 or 3 across all age groups making regional teams. 1 every few years making a youth national team pool. Those very few girls are the only ones who should truly play competitively, by your logic. Come to think of it, you are probably right. All the rest are just filling club coffers and will be going nowhere fast with soccer. All the rest of us should just make our own school year based league & leave club. Saving all that cash would be a nice chunk for college too!

                Now you're starting to understand the TA rec mentality. Be a big fish in a small pond. Strut around with your fancy MLS patch and pretend. Don't actually try because that means you have to walk the talk. All the TA frauds can do is talk. So they attack those trying to improve soccer. If you can't even compete with them you might as well attack them anonymously (of course) on the intardnet.

                  How did Oregon youth soccer get so messed up?
                  TA this, ECNL that, WCDA, FWRL, Academy, ODP, "National Camp"...
                  One of the earlier posters was right, few players from Oregon will be good enough for soccer to be meaningful to them. Even if there is scholarship money available, what's it going to be? 1/2 scholarship to UP?
                  The cost of all these youth program is getting crazy. There are no monies put back into the system from alumni that made it pro. There are few real corporate sponsorship.
                  But parents are told they have to pay to go to play the better competition so they can get college visibility - all while no real work is put into developing the players ability.
                  How about refocusing on the kids instead of the damn program?
                  Teams that are good enough qualify to play the next level, not just an arbitrary selection of clubs and leagues.

                    You're making wrong assumptions. Go out and watch different club practices. People love to say no one focuses on development. The reality is all clubs do. They just focus on different areas for development and some are better than others. Though the last part varies more by coach than club to be honest.

                    The real divide in Oregon is sadly the Timbers. The anymosity between clubs was nothing remotely this bad before they poisoned the environment.

                      Arguing with ECNL zealots really gets old when they can't follow simple logic. Apparently you and your U15 dd are completely clueless about soccer in Oregon and the history. I know this is your first rodeo, so let me tell you that girls got Pac 12 offers before Oregon had ECNL, even in the 6 year where ECNL existed elsewhere and Oregon didn't have it. And in the current class, there are more Pac 12 offers to non ECNL players than ECNL players. Furthermore, there are as many in the current class as there is in the 2017 class. Oh I know that you think that now with ECNL, that number will shoot to 15 to 20 a year from the traditional 2-5. I won't. So you and your U15 should temper your visions and realize that Portland State might be the best you can get at the D1 level and more than likely, Western Oregon or Central Washington might be tops, although there are going to be a lot of ECNL players who get nothing, and yours is just as likely to fall into that bucket.

                        Another stupid comment by the ECNL crowd. It was just as divided and poisonous before. I know you all think Tom Atencio is a choir boy, but he's polluted the water as much, if not more, than anyone. And the problem with him is he doesn't really care about youth soccer. He cares about himself and his pay and if by chance it does something good for youth soccer, then so be it.

                          My point is that competitive soccer (Ecnl or club)in Oregon is so weak that it is ALL only really worth it for about 5 players/age group. The rest are being scammed by the clubs. Give us your $$$ and we'll pretend your daughter has a shot at more than Portland State. This is true for Ecnl AND regular club.

                            Look at that... The bitter poster is back with his personal issues. So you think all of Oregon's problems are due to one person at one club. Tom must be seriously influential if he has that level of impact!

                              We should all quit now and have our kids just play rec soccer because Oregon is weak. There are only 5 (yes only 5) players per age group. Those 5 should just play each other so the rest can play rec soccer and eat doughnuts at halftime. Let's keep it fun! It's not worth trying to get better because there are only 5 players per age group. The rest are not athletic and have no hope of being successful.

                              Let's shut all the clubs down and go back to red soccer. It's so obvious!!

                              You're impressively stupid.
