      Where is the link for Pro scouts? That is what you told us DA and GDA's purpose was. Where is that list? Oh, you mean that college is actually the end game (and power and $$)?

        East Coast vs Phoenix. See how it compares to PDA.

          Yes go pro and make $15K a year. Soooooooo many girls want that.

            Yes they are. Lots of awful players from ECNL (and I am sure GDA soon) will get scholarships because of what teams they are on. So many players are so bad and still get $$ ..... check out FSA girls as prime example. If they had as many decent players as their commit list shows then they could actually win some games .... they were shredded by OW teams that were mediocre NPL ability last year (and now have same players and coaches one year later).

              don't forget that your kid eventually ends up at Eastern CT. That was a worthwhile 10 years

                The availability of money and more spots distorts the picture in women's soccer. On the men's side, with virtually no money to be had and fewer spots forces ,the quality tends to rise above.

                  Pretty sure you just identified the problem sunshine.

                  For most high level club plays on the top team at OW, CFC, FSA the end game is college soccer at some level. OW has historically been and continues to be horrendous at college placement. Yes, I agree that pound for pound OW has more talent than FSA and certainly their players have a higher soccer IQ. The problem is that it has never played out for the kids as they move to the next level. Take EJ out of the equation and look at very good players in recent years. The best kids end up at mid majors and the parents do 100% of the work. Patriot league schools are fine but they are super expensive and poorly funded. CFC would have put those same kids into Georgetown, Nova, William and Mary etc. great schools and they would have received more than a token 10k scholarship. OW has no juice at all with college coaches

                  You can claim superiority all you want but there's still an ocean between CFCU and OW

                    Except the OW players play right away at those mid majors. The CFC kids that go to the Georgetowns, Novas, and William and Marys etc. don't play.

                      Take the rest of the day off Oakwood mom. Sell some raffle tickets or pick or pick up some new Spanx for the dinner dance

                      Oakwood is second tier in girls soccer in CT

                          Nothing worse than OW moms. nothing. I rather scuba dive in a alligator tank than sit with OW moms.

                            1) describing OW placements as Mid majors is being generous
                            2) when will you get that families don't care, it's about the quality of the school, getting a leg up on the admissions process?
                            3) CFC has many successful college players. OW has EJ

                              There's a sudden surge in "CFC sucks", "CFC won't play us", "GDA is the best" posts lately on this an other threads. OW getting nervous? They should. Tryout season is coming soon. Not everyone is enamored with the club and GDA.

                                look at the difference in coaching. The most smug of all coaches in CT is MC. What an ahole. Big difference between CFCU and OW coaches. Vast
