    I don’t think they realize that also really hurts retention as well.

      That's very true, it's not fair to multi sport players.

        They let older girls do high school soccer this year and I know a bunch did track.

          Please update the list below as needed. I am sure that it has changed and some are unaccounted for. If your argument is that the Thorns commits formerly played ECNL or OYSA, ask yourself why they left? If the ECNL is so elite, why are they not dominating below? Based on the rhetoric from the previous posters in multiple threads, you would think that there is a clear advantage to the ECNL but the #'s do not support this argument. Seems like there are at least three good options for girls in the Portland metro area. Anyone arguing against any of the three probably are employed by one of the other clubs/academies or are a frustrated parent trying to justify the $ that they are shelling out. The truth is that everyone listed below should be proud. Naysayers can continue with their miserable existence.

            That's not bad as long as you can get a couple of other jobs to make rent.

                Fake truth. You just want your agenda bumped.

                True fact is Thorns DA is separate from Eastside Timbers FC Thorns girls program.

                    Look at the websites. Eastside is now the Thorns but Westside is running the Thorns academy.

                        Yes, Eastside girls provram is called Eastside Thorns. Just like the boys program is Eastside Timbers. The Thorns Academy Da is still the Thorns Academy DA. Separate from Eastside

                            Only D1 & D2 sign NLIs. D3s don’t have NLIs or any sports scholarships at all.

                                The lister said the list was of NLI signees. D3 isn’t in the NLI discussion but power to all girls who choose to go to any college, especially top academic D3s but even lower level schools like Pacific, George Fox & SOU. Not everyone is good enough to go D1 or even D2 and not everyone is a good enough student to go to Amherst, MIT, etc. Everyone should find their little niche
