Girls 02 Rankings

So $11,000 to $12,000 per year?

Right now encl is getting a fraction of the best players. 40% maybe.

Keep believing that. If you look at age groups with ECNL in Oregon, around 80% of the top players in the Portland area are on the ECNL teams.

Lol....those same players that are mentioned would be going to those schools anyways... They didn't need ecnl to do it. The same quality players are taking the same spots that have been around for decades...ECNL has nothing to do with this. These types of articles are quite amusing.

There are 12000 college spots open each year. You do not need ecnl to get a good education

Might want to do a little more research. If you have internet in your trailer park.

You have never needed to do anything but play if you are good enough to play college. Contact coaches of schools you want to go to and then go to showcases were they will be.

The general exposure you get on the generic encl stuff is like going to a bar to meet the love of your life. Why not just go to places that better fit what you want.

Why waste a bunch of money? If your daughter is good, she should pick where she wants to go. Not trolling around and hoping some college coach will pick her.

If you're not on an ECNL team you likely won't get into the showcases where the college coaches are. Face it, ECNL is the place to be. Stay away at your own risk.

It isn't the ECNL league that gets these girls the offers (or numerous looks) it is the strong girls programs at the clubs that play in the ECNL league. Thusc and FC will always send more girls to college than any of the other clubs in Oregon.

Precisely. That's why the Timbers clubs never advertise who went to college from their U18 teams - mostly because they don't even have girls HS teams...

You don't need to waste $10,000 / year. The coaching isn't any better.

-interesting this board preaches you don't play soccer to get a college scholarship
-don't play on an ecnl team= don't get to have a good opportunity for a "decent" college to play for
-ecnl costs $$$$
-might as well put your money in savings for college
- no ecnl-no play in college

kind of a vicious cycle

30% is more accurate.

Anybody with enough cash can go to college. Very few will get to play soccer in college. ECNL + cash can greatly increase your odds of playing soccer in college.

80%+ at G01 this year. It'll be similar at G02 next spring.

And playing in Timbers tourneys is like going to the zoo to try to meet the love of your life

If you are a good player then there is no reason to join ECNL until at least U15 or later (high school). Not many D1 signings in middle school.

80% of top players aren't doing the EVNL? That seems high.

I think about a third of the top players are doing encl.

What a waste of time. We are sending our daughter to a European club academy as a U15 instead. College just slows development.
