      Give the kids a chance. They have a lot of work to do but the point is not to win it's to have fun.

          Keep clinging to the belief that if you aren't any good and attend showcases that have teams with good players you will be found, indeed you will, be 'found out' and broke. 3rd year of this insanity and we are all in, literally.

            So what? If the kids are having fun then isn't that way more important? You people are all out of senses. Winning is important and so it having a good time.

              This is all that's important.

              Worrying about the level of play or whatever is the wrong thing. Relax. Is your kid having fun? That's it.

                Considering the low level of college athletic scholarships going to Oregon girls, fun should be part of the equation. Ecnl is too tough a league for Oregon teams, playing the likes of Placer & Burlingame will be a nice easy schedule. All 25 Academy players will get significant minutes and improve greatly. Plus, it's free!

                  I agree with this. For Thorns it's not about college.

                    You're right about Burlingame, but any Oregon team will be in for a rude awakening when they play Placer. They have some really good teams at every age group except for one. The Placer 03 team might be the best team in the state.

                      All the good NorCal teams are in ECNL. GDA is the B league.

                        If you can afford it, Ecnl is the best chance to be seen playing top competition & getting used to college speed of play. GDA is next best if you live close enough. Next is a top travel team where your player can practice close to home, play multiple sports & have time for studies. In a couple years GDA will move into the top spot if the top clubs in NotCal switch over.

                        All paths are good and it's more up to the player than the path.

                          You have no idea what you are talking about. That is clear.

                          Ecnl league with an Oregon club is a joke. GDA is next best? They haven't even had one game.

                            Yes the Placer 03 team only lost by 1 to the CU Oregon team by 1 goal last year. They will smash the Thorns 03 team this year unless some of their key players jumped ship.

                              Doubt it. Makeup of Thorns GDA is stronger than either cu or FC ECNL teams.

                                Uh no, the quakes will be far and away the best nor cal teams. All the best Deanza kids left to go to quakes with Deza
