    Playing time guarantee in the GDA? That’s perfect for the kids who are struggling to get playing time elsewhere.
    If your kid is struggling to get playing time, Thorns is a great option. They have playing time guarantees built in.

        Daughters former club teammate never rarely got off the bench for club and now flies to North Carolina to rarely get off the bench for thorns. Your point? Our state is too saturated with “elite” teams. Thorns made this worse not better.

            We have everyday neighborhood clubs that have never produced college stars or even respectable club teams in the NW, forgot about competing with club teams from California. That all claim to be football factories for the best of the best in Oregon. Maybe in the virtual reality of their internet website, but not on planet earth. The DA for boys and girls (Timbers/Thorns) does in fact make these clubs worse, thanks for the astute insight. That's be design, function & execution.

            Our state is too saturated with gullible neighborhood club parents that have disposable income to waste. That makes them 'elite', right? It's a thriving business for the scam artists, who aren't qualified to coach a potato, they pick an unquantified league, fly all over the country and call it exposure. Hook, line & sinker.

            Matey.

              Thorns is a tough sell for most families and kids. The Guaranteed Playing time rule helps them to convince kids to join up. Imagine if your kids was languishing on the bench on a Clackamas or PCU team and you got the call from the thorns. Of course your daughter will say no because she wants to play high school JV soccer. But then the subject of guaranteed playing time comes up and she might be swayed.

                Daughters HS classmate makes ECNL and then also makes HS JV2. Yes, ECNL has elite talent. Also, mommas/papas which in coaches ear can persuade OYSA "elite" coaches that there DD belongs on team A. Great talent evaluation.

                  The exposure that one "elite" OYSA coach has admitted that he cannot come close to achieving makes Thorns an easy sell. OYSA parents, keep convincing yourself that playing in the Yakima Valley Rodeo invitational is going to get your DD on the radar. At least ECNL has visabiltity over OYSA.

                    Exposure means jack when you aren't very good.

                    Keep telling yourself that Ecnl makes your kid elite when said elite kids could make top OYSA teams.

                        No, you had it right without the correction. Clark CC will be scouting your games along with Mt. Hood CC. You'll have to promote your daughter if you want to go anywhere else.

                          despite this I wonder if they have been able to get enough on the rosters?

                            Mt hood doesn't have a soccer team. Probably should make assumptions about cc until said kids can't make those teams either.

                            "But but but I was on an Ecnl team..."

                            Someone lied to you and that doesn't mean anything in in Oregon...just that you paid more to then find out that you can't even make a thorns team...

                              Massive amount of u18s on fc Ecnl and cu Ecnl that can't even make an intermural team...

                              Ecnl is a scam. All you have to do is pay attention.
