OPL Winter League

Which would still make most of them better then anything in OYSA by the looks of it and they don't have to travel to Medford.

You-are-not-listening. If the elite girl players have moved to ECNL there is no longer any reason for OPL to exist. That is demonstrated with the reality that almost any winter game scheduled is truly little more than a scrimmage. For anyone other than the "elite" player they may as well write their fees off as a charitable donation, because they receive nothing for their money.

If you figure there are 3 or 4 good teams in OPL per age level, combining with OYSA would create a strong bracket. This would be far better than playing Crossfire's A,B, and C team as well as one of their younger teams playing up.

You are not listening. OPL "B" teams don't want to travel all over the state to play teams that are no better than those in the OPL. There is NO need to join OYSA and spend waste the kind of money the TA parents seem to like to spend.

As for HS girls, based on what we saw in FWRL and FC Showcase this past weekend, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by OPL teams joining OYSA. The level of play in OYSA is actually LOWER than in the OPL.

Many of our games our vs teams that we train side by side with each week at practice fields in Lake Oswego, West Linn & Tigard.

Why did our 'A' teams leave for the OYSA and leave us stuck playing each other over and over.

Paying for a league of scrimmages is silly.

Would of been nice if the so called leadership had mentioned all the better teams in our club were moving to the OYSA.

Recreational soccer disguised as Premier league soccer is disingenuous.

If your dd was better she would be on one of the 'A' teams. She's in the right place. Then why travel to medford to simply play another 'B' team (if that)?

I think the question is - if your kid isn't good enough to be on the A team, and you are paying $1500 plus for her to be on a B team and essentially scrimmage her teammates week after week, why are you still doing club soccer? Maybe time to use that time and money towards something more rewarding and financially smart.

What?! I'm trying to get them to spend their money on an OYSA league/team, no quit soccer.

Yep. Alive and well and full of a lot more talent, on the girls side, than OYSA.

And well? 3 divisions for boys and 5 for girls in 4 age brackets, and that's with some U8 teams playing up in the u16 brackets. Alive but far from well, more like life support.

Keep spreading those lies. It's OK, we know you TA lemmings have nothing better to do now that your Thorns Academy team has been beat like an old mule in FWRL.

Doesn't matter, there still won't be any OYSA teams in either NWCL or NPL Finals.
