      Sounds like you haven't got a clue. Sorry you and your DD got sucked in by the Timbers marketing hype.

        It will be years before you will know if they have screwed it up.

        Early indications are not good and thats why so many top player steered clear.
        That is why top players were not excited about GDA. US Soccer has done a poor job on men's side.

          My DD will now get the playing time she always deserved at ECNL but wasn't given due to PURE politics. DA is completely unfettered by the gamemanship that happens at ECNL. No more benchriding - the roster sizes have been made to ensure no splintering with this talented group. A couple other ECNL transfers feel the same. A new beginning a fresh start and rising to be coached by the likes of Tobin!

            This is why everyone is cautious. The track record is not good on men's side.

              #1 Reason for leaving a club: Not enough playing time. (Good reason)

              #1 Reason for not enough playing time: PURE politics (Good excuse)

                Hopefully this isn't the case but only time will tell. I watched a mens game the other day and it was awful.

                  Put this into context, the Men's side has never been relevant on the world stage, so changing to the DA platform is an attempt to improve a very poor product.

                  The women's side has been relevant on the world stage since the sport was introduced in 1991. For the first few tourneys of the WC USA had a huge head start because no other countries even considered it a sport, many still don't. Around 2000 a handful of countries Germany, Japan, China, Norway, Sweden invested resources and coaching into the Women's game and those countries just passed up our athletic & direct teams tactically. We are so far behind them now technically and tactically the DA for girls/women's is a hail mary to get us on a path to catch up. The US Club league's for some of the top youth players in the country have been eliminated way to early from all youth WC competitions over the past decade. This US CLub showcase model as it's billed has set the clock back decades on player development as evidenced by the results in international play.

                  Basically it aint working and this is an attempt to fix it.

                    I would almost think this is a joke except this is exactly how benchwarmer parents feel. It's always politics or a blind coach. My suggestion to whoever write this is you screenshot your post so next year when she's rostered to whatever club is the flavor of the month you can easily access your talking points to repost this again.

                      US Mens National Team under the supervision of US Soccer DA program has been enormously disappointing.

                      US Womens National Team under club/high school model has been consistently one of the best teams in the world.

                      So now that US Soccer DA has done such a horrible job with the mens program they apparently want to ruin the girls side too.

                        A. American Men's team has sucked since inception

                        B. Women's Youth Nat teams have become also ran's in international competitions since 2009 til today 2017 all coinciding with the creation of the US Club League platform for girls clubs.

                        C. Men can't get any worse, girls need to better that's for sure.

                          since US Soccer DA has hurt mens soccer why are they getting involved with girls soccer? Bad idea.

                            What a bunch of baloney. You're DD rode the pine because she wasn't good enough - pure and simple. Now that she's at Thornz Asylum she'll appear to be better given that all the players around her are rec level just like her.

                            And Tobin doesn't have a clue how to coach soccer. In fact, she's not even that good of a player.

                              Curious what your expertise is regarding coaching?

                                They've done such a terrible job with boys DA. I'm sure they won't screw up girls.
