Cut? No one got cut from ECNL. They took anyone and everyone who showed up. They even asked a number of the rec players who showed up if they had any more teammates who wanted to join.

I think you are confusing with Thorns Acad. My DD tried out for FCP ecnl , I was present and there were over 60 girls that tried out, so with only about 20 on the roster right now, I'd say some got cut. In fact, I know a few that did.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Many good players were not chosen and to say otherwise demeans the kids who all tried out.

What we're seeing in G01 is that most of the top talent has been sucked out of OYSA and into ECNL. What's left are a bunch of mediocre teams that are dominated by one team that didn't lose any players to ECNL. Any top players that stayed in OYSA are not finding much competition, and the teams that are left aren't strong enough to compete in FWRL, NWCL, etc. The best they can hope for is to win the watered down state cup and then go 0-3 at Regionals.

The team that is dominating OYSA at the '01 age group won state cup and then made it to the semifinals at regionals and quarterfinals at Mustang. Other good teams could choose to not go ECNL and still have a good soccer experience. Onyx could have done that but they were in a ECNL feeder club. Isn't Nemesis (?) doing it now? Yes, most top teams lose too many of the better players to ECNL now to stay competitive but it is possible and it is being done by several teams. Not many but it can be done.

why can't girls playing ECNL be happy?

that is the million dollar question. they need to attract more talent. lower the costs would help.

It's expensive so there is probably a lot of parental pressure to perform. Just a guess.

They need to stop recruiting at the rec fields.

So is Tom going to discard the group this year like he did last year when he realized that they wouldn't be very good? He can't coach, so he counts on the team being full of good players or he just moves on.

Parental pressure due to the high cost?

Nobody knows. It's not really unhappy it's just a pervasive dreariness.

Because they play more games out of state and realize Oregon Suzie stars are B team players in a lot of other states...? Just stay home, play OYSA and relax u tip the full ride to Stanford & UCLA comes calling.

Probably because of all of the pressure and not playing with their friends.
