I don't see how any of this is relevant. Just play on the team you are on and enjoy yourself. Nobody cares how good teams are except those on the team so putting people down seems downright dumb. Enjoy your ride it will be over soon.

That’s got to be frustrating. But they can always change the rules in the future. Make it cheaper and allow high school would probably help.

Makes sense for a local to go play HS, with a club landscape of mediocrity. HS Soccer resembles club soccer so it's really just more of the same.

I’m 40 and still close with my high school teammates.
A long list of players from my kids high school team are now playing D1 and top small school soccer.
Unless you want to go pro with thorns and make $20k per year or whatever it is and work a second job at Walgreens to pay rent.

Why do you care if the nation's elite players give up HS and choose to compete with one another in a National DA?
Oregon is not even in this discussion of elite level players.
Your distaste from pro women's soccer and the elite level says more about you and your issues.

It’s incredibly rude to point out the B team players and non starters that made the teams. Why does it matter to you?
Kids have to start somewhere. Thorns is cheaper at $4,000 per year than ECNL. So it’s a good spot for kids that might not be at the top but want to get better.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostProbably would be cheaper for a B player in an ECNL setting than Thorns (if you don't make the travel team, you don't pay for the travel, only club dues, which is much less than the Thorns $3000); nonetheless, post above was rude.
Crossfire United is $2100 for a 5 month of training
Thorns is $3000 for 10 months of training
Not sure if it is really worthwhile to make either team and never make the travel team. Your time is more valuable than the dollar cost.
