OPL - Dead or Dying

[Unregistered]

Call it what you want, it's still a better deal all around than the South Central Oregon Rec League (SCORL) operated by the Timbers.

I understand you need to lash out...that often happens to "victims" of change. Put broadly OPL has transformed from an all levels league sitting side by side with OYSA. To a league with the rich and very poor. The ECNL teams sit on the top looking down on everyone, meanwhile everyone else has been lowered to the point where the only thing separating them from being a rev team is how much they pay. Large membership/no travel/no worry about outside influence. The very definition of a rec club.

Too bad those OPL "rec" teams still thump your OYSA "premier" teams 9 times out of 10. Feel for you. Or maybe not.

No, not really. The games we have watched OYSA has beaten OPL every time.

I tried but I couldn't reconcile what I was seeing on the field in Gresham with what is typically considered as "good soccer" so I gave up and left, just like any talent that might once have been at that club.

So let me get this right you stood at one field and now have encyclopedic knowledge of how all teams are doing?
