Will the top 2002 players from current u13 top teMs go to FCP-Ecnl or CU-Ecnl or stay put? I assume the ecnl feeder team players will stay put but what about CopaTS, TT, etc? I imagine those teams are predominantly 2003s so the 2002s will be looking for new homes.

Who knows, but if the pattern remains consistant best players will go CU as most have done this in past. FC tends to leak talent in ECNL as players already there tend to leave. CU seems to build at ECNL level. Except of course for UofP talent and recruits. They go FC.

Your kid is that good (she's not, by the way) she should go play up for Crossfire Premier. But there's maybe one kid every 4 or 5 years that should attempt this.

FCP ECNL is fine for everyone else.

Not even sure what you attempted to do with this? Whatever, have a great day and happy your happy with FC. Its a great club.

I find this post so confusing. Last year didn't the FCP-ECNL teams finish higher than every CU-ECNL team except the mighty CU-ECNL_ONYX?

Neither did well last year. Neither team is worth bragging about to be honest. The CU teams were barely put together as they were a consortium of talent from many different teams around the city and state. Not alot of training time prior to season starting. They have an excuse for poor showings in first year. FC teams were already together and had been playing as teams and simply transitioned into ECNL league's. Of course FC started a wee bit stronger. CU teams progressed well as season went along.

This year should be telling as CU will have a year under there belts and should do well in ECNL for 2015/16 season. Given CU's influx of talent and the year of training as a team.

Even the kids that try Crossfire WA aren't really all that. You never see any of them make it big.

Not sure why anyone is concerned with there kid "making it big". Sure I want my kid to play at the top level she can and compete hard, but at the end of the day I want her to have fun and enjoy this time we have with her. Cant imagine driving all the way to Seattle and wasting all that time during the week just so she has a shot at the big time. Whatever that is. It seems nuts to me.

Top players will do ECNL. It's the only place to get consistent top quality competition. Lord knows you won't find that in OYSA.

If you are rich encl is not a bad option. It gets really expensive especially if you want to travel to see your kid play.

In Oregon it is a mix of talent levels in encl. So are only doing git because dad can afford it.

Some are only doing it because dad can afford it, not because they are very talented.

Cost is the same as a good club team that travels. Difference is that ECNL has better and more training, and consistently better competition.
