Ecnl meeting tonite

[Unregistered]

She starts and plays the entire time and we travel a lot. I know for a fact that there are parents on our team who have been upset because they traveled and and paid a lot of money and their kid didn't play. And I saw kids talking to their parents almost crying. I didn't feel bad for them as this is competitive soccer, but I did think that they should have known that up front that it was a possibility to not play. And to answer the question, I do think that there are a lot of naive parents out there who are on teams where they are guaranteed to play every game and get 30-50% time. I hope that they know what they are signing up for.

That's harsh, spending that much money and not getting to play. Ouch.

Too many headers

Where do you dream this stuff up ?

I bet you voted for oBama.

The fact that you can't process that logically only indicates why you have NOT been able to follow the conversation.

Youth soccer should not be a profit making enterprise but a development process. Your beloved Timbers have YET to demonstrate that they have any serious interest in advancing girls youth soccer other than TAKING money from the system to maintain the status quo.

If they were serious about moving the ball down the field for the girls they would not be sitting mum on the sidelines trying to sabotage the ECNL....but hey you probably voted for the 1%er Romney too!

Da P O I N T is that if the Timbers had the best interests of local youth soccer in the fore front of their mind they would announce the details of the program. The fact that they are NOT says they are MORE interested in protecting their Alliance teams and the OYSA over expanding opportunities for our best players.

Their actions or rather lack thereof is proof that they are NOT going to provide meaningful financial support for any Academy program and are more concerned with continuing the status quo which sends them 100's of thousands of dollars to administer youth soccer.

Da P O I N T is that if Apple had the best interests of all cell phone users in the fore front of their mind they would announce the details of the iPhone 6 (rumors are said its to be released sometime this year). The fact that they are NOT says they are MORE interested in protecting their shareholders and manufacturing partners overseas over expanding opportunities for the best cell phone ever.

Their actions or rather lack thereof is proof that they are NOT going to provide meaningful technical support for any Apple product and are more concerned with continuing the status quo which sends them 10,000,000's of millions of dollars to administer cell phone bliss.

Youth soccer should not be a profit making enterprise but a development process.

THUSC
FC PDX
CrossFire
OPC

and any other club that makes enough money to afford a 100k/yr DOC. This is youth soccer. Kids kicking a ball for gawd sake

None of those coaches make 100k. This has already been proven on this sure. You're just posting misleading information.

Oh but wait !!! They have a PDP (Player Development Program). Its says it right there on their website.

Your right and you confirm my statement. The previous poster said it should NOT be a profit center, but rather development. Then why should the DOC (director of coaching), not the coach make $100k/yr ? The coach is who is developing the players, but makes squat compared to the DOC who does nothing to develop the players.

Face palm

The difference between what ECNL does with their revenue and what MP does with the Timber Revenue can bee seen in over 9,000 ECNL games each year!

ECNL is structured and run for the benefit of the GIRLS. the timbers on the other hand well if I have to splain that to you you are HOPLESS

That's OYSA/TA for ya. Kids kicking a ball for gawd sakes.

[Marbull]

That's OYSA/TA for ya. Kids kicking a ball for gawd sakes.

and yours will be that #19-24 player on the ECNL team picking splinters from her behind while you shell out $8,000 for her to do it and another $2k for you to come watch her do it.

Logic escapes you ufb

Then why should the DOC (director of coaching), not the coach make $100k/yr ? The coach is who is developing the players, but makes squat compared to the DOC who does nothing to develop the players.

So if an organization is structured to provide opportunity and access for the DEVELOPMENT of female youth soccer and the coach makes a market level wage you think it is a "profit" making enterprise. OMG

On the other hand when the FOR PROFIT enterprise not only does not contribute to girls soccer but TAKES money from the system you give them a free pass YOU are too DENSE to understand the argument.

Vs the ECNL clubs who are frantically kicking the ball out of bounds. Certainly at our age group anyway.
