What does an OPL club lose going to OYSA

The answer to your question. What does an OPL lose by going back to OYSA. Its soul.

In OYSA you will be defined as Timbers Club or a 2nd class club.

OPL clubs or US Club clubs can direct their own future and develop players based on those players need and no the big green machine.

Actually no "we" are not pregnant yet. There is still time for the OPL non OPC clubs to send a loud and clear message and join OYSA for the winter league. If that happened the remaining OPL clubs would be left with only 5 "A" teams to play regardless of quality.

Continuing the split without being able to demonstrate or enumerate clear and identifiable benefits to their members is a disservice to the parents and players of the OPL. When the 800 pound gorilla in the room picks the other league you have to be able to explain the benefits and describe a survival plan.

So far all we get is "they stunk in the past". No clear business plan on how they are going to provide competition that does NOT include even more travel than to Bend, Eugene and Medford.

I'm in OPL and am fine with moving to OYSA *EXCEPT* it means moving to USYS. Currently the top competition in Western states is in USCLUB. If there are still NWCL, WCDA, ECNL opportunities with USCLUB for OYSA teams then great! otherwise - not so great...
All the noise about TA/non-TA, travel, etc... is just that - Noise - at this point. travel won't change for the groups unless there's not enough teams to fill the divisions and/or an outlier team and moves up or down a division. Timbers favoritism towards TA clubs is not likely to be significantly affected by which org they are in.

What are you? twelve years old? If your an adult that's pretty scary. You hold grudges over youth soccer?? Get a life.

Correct me if I am wrong (hopefully without all the insults this board seems to live) but it is my understanding NWCL, WCDA, and ECNL have no connection to US Club. The only perk US Club supposedly brought was iD2, which never really seemed to get off the ground. There has been so much propaganda for so long by OPL that it gets confusing if US Club really opens any doors. My final thought is they don't. You can have it all under USYSA
