    And maybe it will. Those with an ECNL axe to grind want to kill it off before it gets a chance to become a real competitor.

So, when the .0005% of the players who actually do get pulled in a NT camp, they are all playing the same style with the same skillsets so they don't have to waste time teaching them. They can dive right in.

      Not advocating one or the other, just pointing out that one item.
      And let me guess... your daughter is the .0005% that will get pulled in a NT camp, and dive right in, right? Hahahahaha keep dreaming

        No, you pr!ck.

        DA for us is due to lack of other available options that logistically make sense for us. We are not part of that group that DA really targets.

        As I said...not advocating one or the other, just making an explanation as to how they want it to be run and for it to be autonomous across all teams.

          very few people value objective debate. every comment is interpreted as the OP trying to elevate/support their own kid , league or Club.

          makes it pretty hard to exchange real information.

            USSF will be responsible for its own undoing.

              That would be great the USSF needs to be “undone” and then rebuilt. We had a chance and the stupid players got cold feet and supported no change.

Clubs have been trying to get in since it's inception and when you have a league owned by the Clubs, they can make up whatever rules they want. It's also the real reason why some clubs dropped out of DA...because they have an ownership stake in ECNL and it makes financial sense to push their own product than pay for another.
                hahaha, exactly, now encl is the poor step-child that doesn't get any respect, posers and self-absorbed egomaniacs, and anyone who touts their virtues is a douche, just like them. Since my daughter was u10, her old club wanted a membership, but the old-boy network simply refused. Now, they are like the guys who bumped women to get to the Titanic’s lifeboats.

                  This is true. The USSF needs to choose a small geographic center (So Cal) with year round weather and work with the local clubs to build the GDA. Run it like Canada's junior hockey. Start at 16/17 and go through 19. One team per club. 150 high potential kids. Get sponsor families to house the kids. Underwrite the endeavor.

                    You cannot blame players on this. Players are choosing what is best for them. That's how a free market works. If you don't offer a better product than your competition at a perceived fair price, your competition will get the customer. As soon as USSF started building a massive league with some less than top clubs the writing was on the wall about what the quality was going to look like. It has played out exactly that way - some really good clubs, and some really bad ones, and they just added more from that later group and lost more of the former.

                      Again, subjective. Who made you an expert on what is a quality club??

                        It's been ONE year. They will adjust as the market talks. They already are.

                          BTW: We all look forward to our game against PDA on Tuesday, and don’t think for one second I am going to let those douches off the hook for bailing, even if some of their moms are pretty hot, love those yoga pants in the warm California sun ; )

                            They are adjusting downwards by adding weaker teams.

                              all of the people who continue to analyse this like the guy above are lost. your only basis for deciding if they are good or bad clubs is historic results. in a sport where adding 2 top level kids can totally alter the W/L of any team, how is that sensible?

                                Sensible and TS rarely coincide.
