Alliance Tournament Team

[Unregistered]

There was a Jeld Wen Alliance Day last weekend for Girls and Boys U11-U12. There's another Alliance Scrimmage this Saturday. What is the goal of these events? Will an Alliance Tournament Team be selected for a tournament next March? Is this an evaluation process?

What is the goal of these events: For the players to get to play and have fun. The event was pretty cool and my kids loved it - had a great time. There were no evaluations, there was no cost. Just a bunch of kids playing games.

We have not heard anything about this Saturday.

Ok, I was just wondering if it was a selection process for something bigger. And yes, all the kids loved playing on Jeld Wen field :)

You have to be in the inner circle of the Alliance to know. We can't tell you.

The secret

The games were all tapped and archived for feature use at ODP, DA and 1st team tryouts.
Each player on the pitch is being evaluated by the top minds inside the Timbers organization.
Individual and team training curriculum is being developed with the signal goal of producing future Portland Timbers players.
GW himself said he will personally train these players and feels confident the Timbers in 2022 will finish the MLS season in 7th or maybe even 6th place, a marked improvement from 2012

Looks like you were at least part correct. The games appeared to have been taped, at least a few of them. WST posted a youtube video on their home page.

Looks more like harmless fun for the kids. Jeld Wenn just happened to be an extra perk.

What a surprise, kids playing soccer and having fun. What is this world coming to?!?!?!

Let us all bash this great opportunity

Fun ?

When I was in 6th grade my dad took me to Wrigley field to run the bases. It was great. They did it because it was fun.

The Timbers did it so they could try to bring more people in to the TA clubs and cash your club fee check. Good business for sure, but worthy of bashing.

Let me let you in on a widely known secret. If you get an invite, your invited. If you dont, maybe next time will be your turn.

Have invitations already been sent out? If so, I guess my son wasn't on the list! Darn! How were the boys notified? Email?

I'm assuming a team will be formed for the March 2013 tournament in CA. Are they forming one team of 18? Will this be an invitation only roster? If so, that would be great!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew the selected kids!
