It's not like we have any National team level players that are not being seen because they play for a local club team and not the Thorns DA. If we had National team level talent that boy or girl would be with the Timbers or Thorns DA.
Phone call to National team candidate
US Nat Coach: We have selected you to be part of the National team for your age group, Congrats! It's mandatory that you play for a DA club and since once is funded locally and within 5 miles of your home, we will put you in touch with their staff. Understand if you leave the national team, you are welcome to go back and play with your local club.
National Team Player: Great, No Problem.
US Nat Coach: Any other questions, before I let you go?
National Team Player Selection: Wait....I can't do it, since it means I have to give up playing HS, sorry.
Phone clicks and the coach moves to another selection.
