    And which college coaches are you on speaking terms with, and why would they tell you that?
    Sorry but I heard polar opposite from several coaches and scouts in Florida. They all know it’s inaugural year but that DA is going to be #1 like on boys side.

      Many of them were disappointed in the level of talent that they were told is the best but the games were god awful.

      Us soccer is trying to make money off of leagues now and it's pretty scam like
      It is not going to be shuttered. It will limp along, battling it out for who is first vs second with ECNL. College coaches will have to split their time or make choices depending on where the talent goes that they are shopping for. Girls will get recruited from both. It's possible GDA becomes the number one venue for top college programs, but that leaves literally hundreds of other programs still needing players and GDA can't fulfill all the orders. NPL gets hammered and becomes the distant #3 league

        How is that is anti-alliance?

          I was at the ET meeting as well. Sounded to me that the club had a different vision for the competitive program. I think completing the new fields and clubhouse are where the club's focus is right now. They didn't like all the rules that USDA was requiring, in particular the prohibition from playing other sports.
          ET have never truly committed to the DA program - there's just one coach spread across the 3 teams with virtually zero support and the DOC has never been to a game and went to training ONCE only because parents were pi$$ed after teams were getting trounced. ET's DA program could've worked if they had really got behind it and even coughed up for some scholarships to get talent in. ET is all about rec going forward as that's where the money is and that's what is going fund the new facility.

                    Why would any other club want it right now? To be competitive, talking a hundreds of thousands of dollars; no local club can afford that.

                    But seriously, why Timbers should have a say is rather ridiculous. But yes, Gavin and Merritt do a decent job cock blocking.

                      All the local clubs continue to fight over the scraps (moderate players) not with the Timbers DA and newly formed Thorns DA clinging to these paying customers for dear life, remember they (clubs) got bills and coaches to pay, it's a vicious cycle, that has no end in sight. No local club has demonstrated in the last 5 years they can compete in the watered down USYS regional or national level or even in the pay to play high priced US Club travel league for girls..errr showcases :)

                      What club or clubs can emerge and become relevant from this mess...escaping their useless rhetoric/mantra.

                        Well escaping your useless rhetoric is a start but is probably too much to ask.

                          No need to change this status, especially with no demand for anything better.

                              I enjoy this site, just not your posts.

                                Please, please don't continue to let the good players be scattered to all corners of Portland. No one cares about these clubs, and continuing to treat them like they're something they're not is slowing the growth of our best players. Consolidate into 1 or 2 DA teams, train, play older teams, and travel to WA once a month and CA twice a year.

                                Stop. Messing. Around.
