Their remaining club younger teams who won noting in the DA have been relegated to the US Club league, by their own choice.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere is too much player and parent pressure. ECNL is just a better experience and they allow players to play high school soccer.
99% of Oregon boys & girls are best served in USYS (OYSA) but for that tiny minority of Girls who really want to travel all over the country, just for pure fun and play the same type of teams that are within 20 miles of their house join FC PDX or CU errr..THUSC they have teams that elect to play in a US Club girls regional league and Showcases. If you can afford it it's the same as USYS but you get to travel much more!! Since DA is not standard any of these kids can play they of course get to play in HS. Being able to play HS is the thing for this ilk!

I don't get why girls want to play high school soccer. I mean if you are elite level player, shouldn't you not care about playing in front of crowds of peers or representing your school?
I know that GDA closes to allow girls to play high school basketball. That should give them enough time with school friends.

I agree
I think it is very important for girls to play high school soccer. Sure sometimes the team isn't the best but socially it is great experience.
Same with the boys

Roughly 5500 girls play in the OSAA & around 6500 boys (source NFHS)
All of the kids that belong in HS are playing in Oregon HS Soccer.
Arguing that the top 1% should also play HS is merely your opinion, remember what many say the most elite can do whatever they want in Oregon. Guess what they do and they opt out of HS to play DA. It's their choice.
