Too bad for your DD but the Oregon ECNL clubs are nationally recognized as the two best youth clubs in the state of Oregon - hands down.

FC Portland 2001 ECNL team finished in fourth place in OYSA. So that means they were a top ten team in Oregon. Good but nothing special.

Not true. The low turnout of quality players from these clubs has been on the radar I'm afraid. It's become questionable when and where the development of the players occurs. Oregon ECNL clubs are desperate to recruit talent outside of their own clubs because they have not been able to develop the players in-house.

FCP recognizes this as a problem and are trying to recruit. Not much luck yet.

Take up the challenge. Schedule a game between your DD's team and any ECNL team. You will lose and it won't be pretty. Just the facts.

And just 1.5 years later that same team is light years ahead of everyone else in Oregon - and without adding any Timbers Alliance players either. Imagine that! Development winning out over bootball thugball.

Sad but true. Parents claiming greatness is one thing. Playing the game is another.

FCP ECNL is all packaging and fourth place OYSA substance.

Fc Ecnl program is becoming more and more
Of a joke.

You've got lying parents and coaches trying to do everything they can to fool people into thinking they are better then they are.

Example: 2001 fcp Ecnl teams was 4th in OYSA

Ecnl parent: just schedule a game against our team and you ll lose badly..fact.

????????

Fcp is notorious for not developing players and used car sale recruitment. Their best players aren't even from their club and we're families that literally were told they need to leave because of how toxic they were.

You see them on here all the time. They need your kid but are upset their kid isn't getting better.

Don't fall for their garbage.

And yet FCP puts more kids in college soccer every year than all of the Timbers Alliance clubs combined. Just the facts. Sorry your DD got cut, again.

Completely 1000% false. Way more TA players placed in college soccer. Not even close.

The only thing that seems to develop is the parents' conceited attitude. There is no skill development. Frankly, I believe that OR ECNL is the biggest perpetrator of bootball. Simply recruit the big kickers, fast runners and loudest parents to scream "send it!" I do not believe the founders of ECNL had this in mind.

This is so funny. You are dillusional. This year's CU team will place more kids in College then T/A has done in the last 5 years. Sell your crazy somewhere else we are all stocked up here on this board.
