The PA teams will never stack up nationally to the big power houses out there and that’s ok. We are who we are.
I don’t know how PSC once again gets brought up in a completely different thread and gets 0 positive feedback. They did win a championship, regardless of league. It still counts as a championship in PA record books. Can’t deny that. I’m sure it wasn’t as easy as we all think either. Sometimes you need a little luck on your side to win everything.

My alma mater Johns Hopkins won the D3 women's championship which I am proud of, but no one is going to confuse our women with UCLA nor do even the lowest D1 schools pay us attention (although we could definitely beat some).

You PF folks really believe you have the only game in town. Delco, Bucks, Ukies, PA Classics, PDA South, SJEB, Sporting DE all put kids in D-1 schools on a regular basis. Like everyone, I see all of the announcements at our club (Delco) when kids commit. It's not unique to PF.
Also, getting on a team and playing/contributing doesn't always line up. Sure, there are some great success stories and some solid players in NCAA soccer from PF, but many kids also fall into the category of transferring, being four-year bench players, or quitting altogether. It's a very siloed and inaccurate view to think that's the only club producing D-1 players.
Plus, no matter where you play, you must first have the grades to get into any "elite" academic school.

Sure, once in blue moon, that's why I said in my comment "Almost all".
Again, if your daughter is top talent and she wants to play a top D1 soccer program or get into an elite academic school, PF is her best option.

Guest repliedDoubt there’s a GA component to this new club. My money is it’s only MLS Next.

When? I just went back 5 years and not only see no Girl's ECNL (or DA) national champs from PA, but don't even see a finalist. I am sure a team from PA has won at some point, but we are not relevant on a national level currently. I don't want to hear about the younger PF teams who are now starting to beat PDA Blue, those are only 2010s and 2011s that are at that level and who knows if it's sustainable.

PA has won national championships with a number different clubs over many many years. PA are just fine and has more than enough big clubs. Community clubs are just as important.

Meh, they just had a girl sign with Nova and several others sign with D-1 schools last year and more on the way this year. That's the Kool-Aid talking. PF is not the be all, end all for getting seen.

Almost all high level girl players from New Castle County play for PF. You can spin it any way you want, but if you want to play D1 you better make that trip to West Chester.
