    Oh yeah, right, sorry I wasn't suppose to frame it that way. "Supplemental try outs". If you happen to have played high school or JV, that's cool. No judgement.
    You forgot “and if you get cut by your HS team and don’t make varsity or JV, we will take you as a PT player until the players we really want finish their high school seasons.” Super elite!

      That’s nice that only Oregon gda girls have no restrictions on playing high school soccer. Many gda players in CA and other states would love to play hs and then gda too.

        Thorns will take them too.

            For sure. HS is better competition than the GDA.

              It's a good move that will benefit those girls who get cut from high school squads.

                If you want to have an elite girls program you have to respect the wishes of girls and their parents to play high school soccer. Otherwise you miss out on 15 of the top 20 at most age levels.

                  Losing 0-8 cannot be fun. Usually when you lose that bad it could’ve been 0-20 but the other team throttles back.

                    This is true. If you lose by eight, you probably could have lost by 25 or 30 goals.

                      It would be bad form for teams to beat the Thorns 25-0. Eight goals is enough.

                        Now that there is no more GDA and they will play in OYSA, they should make teams sign a waiver that they will only beat the Thorns by 8 goal max.

                          Not that funny, nor hearing about how FC 01 did in OYSA.

                            Call it the no hurt feelings rule.

                              Who cares

                              These girls will just go back to oysa through an other club or Westside calling themselves Thorns. Kind of like Eastside calling themselves Thorns.

                                I agree Thorns older teams are not the greatest, however neither of the Oregon based ECNL teams is doing good on a National level. They are doing ok in the ECNL NW league but at the tournaments they can’t compete.
