There is almost zero risk. The ODP teams are 90% "B" teamers and Timbers bootballers. Only real risk is getting injured by one of the ODP thugballers. -
Yeah! If the odp teams won it would be hard to get people to invest the ten grand a year for encl.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

See that's the mentality of the "wannabe". Ask for a challenge to validate your poor standing. People who know their standing know that its a waste of time to entertain this sort of challenge from the peasants. Its beneath them. So instead we choose to put our investment towardd activities that challenge us and develop us and grow our standing. Doing anything else is a waste of our investment.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
If you want validation and to improve your standing you must put yourself in a position to challenge in the standard domains that measute greatness. Make a Surf Cup, make NWCL finals, make FWRL regionals. Anything that has a structure that is designed to tease out and identify the best will do.
But playing you yahoos otherwise is akin to taking NBA players to a street ball competition with dirt courts, plastic 5 gallon buckets for hoops, and a ball that is flat and does not bounce. Its simply not going to happen.Comment

Elite league parents puff their chests out but would never allow a friendly vs ODP state team. Too risky.Comment

Encl is for the patents. If you can afford the $10 grand a year your daughter can be elite, regardless of her skill level. Neat trick!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

... it always end up right back at the money when all other reasons are invalidated. Since ypu brought up cost, ask yourself this question. Given training, tournaments, and travel is not free and given there are no free, fully subsidized, avenues for women then what is the appropriate cost?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If they're from a Timbers club, they are effectively "B" teamers. Maybe even "C" teamers.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Just an fyi, at higher level clubs, the parents aren't setting the schedules and arranging friendlies, we entrust the PAID coaches and our DOC for this. At the rec clubs, I know parents still coach and handle these activities. Make Champs League or another high caliber tourney and maybe we can play.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The 2002 level is the only age at which the ODP team would beat the ECNL team. And that's because of one player...as long as she played for ODP and not for her FCP ECNL team.Comment
