      Our oldest is in dance and it's the same thing. It's the people with money that get into the highest levels, not always the talent.

          Thank you for subsidizing the cost for us and for helping give us the numbers so that we can scrimmage at practice. Sorry she sits on the bench so much.

            Better to be mediocre than the horrible that is OYSA these days.

              ECNL is ELITE not MEDIOCRE. It should be based upon ability to PLAY to ability to PAY.

                  If you can't afford it, that's no reason to put it down. Some can and they get the elite title.

                    And the elite level development experience. If you want it bad enough you'll find a way to pay for it.

                      Some can afford the Jaguar and some can afford the toyota. They both get you around but only one is getting valet service at the Club. Nothing to be ashamed of.

                        You need numbers to make it work so at some point you accept less levels of talent. That's any expensive club.

                          Problem is, in Portland if you had one ECNL club you would have about 6 crummy players out of 18. With two clubs you have those numbers spread out. And CU is where they are really hurting. About two good players per team. The results don't lie.

                            And they are all still better than the best of the OYSA Alliance teams. Imagine that!

                              If cu and FC were to merge it would help a lot.

                                Even a country club sometimes has to lower their standards to get the numbers up to make budget.
