Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI get that. It just feels like those options just shrunk. Location and budget will put most of us back in NEP. Not the end of the world but disappointing to some girls.
I don't mind at the time of the purchase if I can't get the red car, and have to settle for any of these 5 other colors.
Where I get irked if you tell me after I've ordered it, I have to pick any of these other 3 colors. Oh, and two of those colors are crappy and the other one costs you a lot more.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, very late.... Here's a theory. This was a decision being tossed around for a while... Seacoast unsure of landscape and whether it was a good choice for them or not. Someone (GDA connected) told Seacoast that they knew of certain amount of girls who would be interested, etc. Seacoast joined and here we are. Yes, no, maybe? :)

It is far too late in the try out season to be springing this on players, even more so if it wasn't even on the radar. No time to tryout elsewhere, rosters locked in on the better teams, not a lot of other options. It they had wanted ECNL or GDA last year they would have already gone that route (unless too far away). Trying to get NPL players to move onto this that don't want isn't doing the players or the club any good.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's part of the issue - USSF only cares about a small percentage of players. But they need all the rest to make the league work. Families see it, they're not fools. With boys there are fewer good options for quality competition and college exposure. Girls have an option. It works for many of them. Like someone said teams got a handful of talented players and many of the rest were players who either couldn't even get on an ECNL roster before or were ECNL benchwarmers. They either don't care about HS or weren't varsity starters. This league that's supposed to be about the best of the best just isn't.
Only a very small percentage of girls in GDA will be chosen for NT training, but how are the clubs giving less training to the players not selected by USSF? From all appearances GDA teams are training as teams, and all players are receiving the same training regardless of their status as NT players.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI do not understand what "USSF only cares about a small percentage of players" means? What special benefits are the small percentage of players getting? Are GDA clubs having secret practices with only a small number of the players from their teams where USSF gives secret special training tips and instruction? Are these small number of players that USSF cares about getting secret Speed and Agility training on the side on USSF's dollars?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhat? Seacoast joining GDA? Yes. Announced yesterday. Future of NPL teams is unknown, at least to me. Not sure if other parents have heard more.
