    Elite players don't have to give up high school. Why would they for a low paying job? The elite girls are looking at top colleges. Girls for whatever reason love high school sports.

      They Elite youth female players across the United States don't fit your fantasy narrative.

      Just look at the US Youth National teams rosters and the top colleges signed recruits, these kids all come from DA Clubs.

      Average girls should love HS Soccer, USYS & US Club platforms.

      You are simply lying and not looking at real data about the Nation's elite players.

        Oregon’s best female players almost all chose to play high school last year so this is true in Oregon.

          The the nation's elite do play DA, see National team rosters to better understand how stupid you are and the DA clubs that produce all the youth nat players.

          Or continue to babble nonsensically in your spiral down the drain of your personal insanity.
          If you are talking GDA then it is insane to say the DA produce all the youth nat players considering they have only been around for one full year.

          The strong clubs have been historically the strong clubs for the past few years. Putting a DA patch or ECNL patch does not change much of anything. Those same clubs produce the majority of nat players.

          US soccer selects the nat team players and they are also promoting the DA. Obviously they are going to try to select DA players whenever possible. They like to advertise the number of DA players on the US Soccer announcements when they release a camp roster. With clubs like Slammers, Michigan Hawks, PDA, etc... all going back to DA they will probably have to open it up to more ECNL players now. Restricting the roster to DA players mostly probably hurt them in the U17 world cup last year.

            I think you meant Slammers, Hawks, etc leaving GDA to go ECNL...

              Or Oregon's best female players chose not to play for the Thorns.

              Sometimes it is not choosing to play HS or not, but what club you are playing on and whether or not you want to change.

              If you play for CU and did not want to change clubs, you would likely play HS soccer.

              The Thorns Academy has only been around for a few years and the Thorn's DA even less time. Prior to the DA, the Thorns Academy did not have any younger teams to matriculate up to the older teams.

                The best players in Oregon are a group of maybe (50 kids) and as the HS season proved this year, many of the very best of this (50) chose the DA vs playing HS and local club. It's embarrassing for the OSAA to have a decent HS destroy teams by 8 to 10 goals every game a result of the very best going to the DA. Jus Sayin.

                If so many of the very best didn't opt for the DA, HS Soccer would benefit with more than 1 competitive team, as it stands now.

                    Look at the US Nat rosters and the DA clubs that supply the players (both boys & girls) it's just how it is these days. Sorry you didn't know this reality. The nation's strongest clubs have been with DA since inception for boys in 2007 & girls in 2017.

                    When the girls didn't have a DA level, between 2010 to 2016 the girls youth national teams were losing to concacaf minnows due to the USYS & US Club showcasing model. It's a good thing that got blown up.

                    The reality of the DA is here to stay for now and it's the only verifiable pathway for the Nation's elite to the US Nat teams. Numbers and selections don't lie. It's also the recruiting ground for the nation's top college teams, mens & women's followed closely by international players.

                      Did you not see my post when I said GDA. The G stands for Girls.

                      How did the US men's national team do in the last world cup? Isn't that the goal of US soccer or is it a good showing at the youth level?

                      The strongest clubs on the girl's club have been in DA since 2017 and the top ones left in 2018. More to come in 2019.

                      Your last paragraph was just idiotic.... "only verifiable pathway for the nation's elite to the US Nat teams"... etc... Are you really that stupid or are you just trolling??

                        Some of those that played HS this year played on the all mighty Thorns DA team last year.

                        http://www.osaa.org/today/article/22...+winning+blend

                        Those former DA players (upper classman) were beaten 5-0 and 8-0 by a HS team of freshman and sophomores.

                        Best players play DA.

                          The Thorns DA is attracting the level of player needed these days, those former (prior to DA) Thorns kids were perfect fit as fodder to better HS level players.

                          Thanks for defending and supporting this reality.

                            It would be ugly.

                              HS Soccer is beyond ugly. Thanks for the reminder.

                                Jesuit vs Thorns would be a thrashing.
