Academy Tryout Numbers

[Unregistered]

So how was the first tryout? Was there really 100+ D1-committed, national team experienced players out there? Or was it maybe a little... anticlimactic???

Anticlimactic, you must be thinking about the ECNL tryouts. Still trying to scrape together a team of 18?

Are there many 99's trying out for the Thorns Reserve pool?
I understood that those decisions would be made at the '99 ODP tryouts next month in Salem.

Yes there were. We were told that there will be three Academy Teams next year. It's good for these girls to get their names out there in preparation for next year.

I heard the Timbers are in talks with Gothia Cup (Sweden). That would be a fun trip for the three Academy Teams

That would be really cool. Of course the Academy would then cost more than the ECNL but it would be a great vacation!

No, actually when the OPL folds and all of their teams come back to OYSA, then the increased revenue from the team fees will cover the costs for us. It will be as if ECNL is paying for us to travel to Sweden. We'll be sure to send Tom and Fraser a thank you note.

Was it the same group of coaches that told a group of girls they were holding tryouts to take a team to Surf?

Let hear allllll about it

I have been patiently waiting for the Academy crowd to come back and crow about how the Copa girls will be adding 12 equally strong players to the team for their 2015 Academy foray.

Well what happened? How many additional quality players showed up?

With all the TA trash talking I figured we would be hearing about how they picked up 12 girls that were as good as the Copa team.

I guess that didn't happen.
