Rush could make most sense to add ecnl on the girls side. It’s a national club and could pull from Whatcom, northwest United, Snohomish, and sound fc. finally give a viable option for the northern tier players without having to go to Seattle or Redmond. Girls from Everett north really don’t have the option right now unless their parents have 4 hours to kill every night.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWell the cost at crossifre ecnl is the same as playing in the rcl club fee wise. But crossfire pays for all traveling expenses in the ecnl. So its actually cheaper than other clubs currently. Have heard a few clubs locally might be getting to ecnl teams each. Hope it's not true. Seattle United ecnl is struggling this year. Maybe one age group is doing ok but that's it. Numerous rcl division 1 teams are stronger. Also heard now that eugene left pac nw and headed to sound fc (surf) that his connections might get them ecnl as well. They dont have the talent for ecnl but that's not stopping anyone it seems.

The area is totally diluted with too many clubs and too many different leagues. Washington is one of the top 3 states in the country for girls soccer talent wise. Southern California and Colorado might be the only places either more talent. Look at how the edp teams do year after year. Before adding Da and this year with numerous clubs getting ecnl, Washington teams have won numerous regional titles and even a few national championships. One of the major issues right now is so many players are switching from a team they've been with for years to this new ecnl option and having a full team of strangers and everyone expects the team to immediately know how to play with eachother, have faith in one another and trust. You might be loaded with talent on a certain team but they dont know how to play together. Takes more than a few months together for the coach to know all the new players strengths and weaknesses and what formations are correct for the set players. Then they get to travel to these out fo state tournaments and play against teams that have been together for years. Washington soccer is to blame for all this. Too many changes over the past 3 years that are putting the team aspect behind. Changing the calendar birth age groups, adding da, then adding ecnl to even more clubs, adding a champions league this coming year for a select 8 clubs, etc.

Have you not noticed that times have changed?
EDP and ODP are dinosaurs.
The reason why these clubs are going to ECNL or DA is because that is where most of the nation's talent (and college coaches) are going on the girl's side.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhy do you insist on the top talent being in DA or ECNL? I hate to tell you this but they are not the top talent they are just the privileged few . We have to stop this bs mindset . These kids are not scouted (there is zero scouting system) they are not massively talented just coached to the point of looking competent . I watch a lot of games from various standards to age ranges and see very limited natural ability and vision . Just players that have been coached to death in play by play systems . Even the mls is starting to dump US produced players for not even star South American imports .
The boy's side is a different story.

I do believe that ECNL is now ahead nationally, but I believe DA is still an option. With XF out of DA, Reign may be better because some girls don't want to play HS and want year round club.
It is nice to have options and it is better for the consumers.

It is an efficient way for college coaches to find player. If you are a unicorn then it really does not matter where you play. If you are in the 60% to 90% range then you probably need DA or ECNL to get into a decent college program. If that does not matter then you should go on doing what you are doing because it does not really matter any ways.
