As I understand the Thorn’s org may toss in a few bucks to help smooth the transition but it won’t put a dent in the total cost. Going to be just another local club in way over their head!
    Have the thorns commented on this? I have heard this from multiple people. That would make sense. They are a professional soccer club. Why they want the hassle of girls youth soccer, the parent drama and all that is a good question. There is simply no money in the future for girls.

      The transfer of the DA license has to be approved by US Soccer. It’s been submitted but I don’t believe there’s been any decision yet?! Seems like a rubber stamp decision unless they pull out of Oregon all together.

        I’ve heard Thorns Academy will charge only $500 per year. Same as the boys.

          GDA is a hot mess, not much risk there. It is sad that this program has now become nothing but another Timbers recruiting tool. This program use to be the least political and best representation of talent in the state. Sadly it’s been Timberized into oblivion just like ODP.

              Ask yourself what is going on the south and north of you:

              South: teams are split between ecnl and gda. my money is ecnl.
              North: crossfire can do whatever they want. reign is looking for a home and resources.

              The way GDA is set up, it may work in SoCal, TX and the somewhere on the East Coast.

              At the end of the day, the consumers will win out and both parties will have to work together.

                Your dd clearly wasnt invited to the national team session tonight which consisted of the new DA team picks for 2018/19. Ecnl is officially dead.

                  You wish timbers intern:

                  From one east coast club that quit gda:

                  As a result of this decision, VDA has notified U.S. Soccer that it will not renew its membership into the girls’ Development Academy for 2018-19, but is fully committed to complete the 2017-18 season, including all league games and showcase events. VDA remains committed to the boys’ DA, as well as men and women’s CCL Pro 23 moving forward.

                    Westside? Why not Eastside?

                      You should have believed the poster. It's true. National reps were in town today.

                        Yessir. There were people in town today that were wearing US soccer sweatpants and had official looking visors. They had clipboards too. They didn’t really seem like they knew anything about soccer but that is beside the point. They were driving rental Prius and had lots of fast food bags in their car. Probably getting meals covered by employer . Beyond epic for sure.
