No, there is some talent and she is a very good player. The question is if the Portland ECNL teams are any good. Look specifically at the U18 results in ECNL and NWCL and you will find your answer. -

There roster has 5 out of 11 All State 1st team players. That sounds like they have some talent.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

This has always been the final dropoff age. Too many girls don't want to give up the time their senior year of HS if they aren't playing in college. And with the committments in time asked of them for ECNL, you can't blame them. Too many are submitting college applications and scholarship applications, on top of still striving for grades. And of course finalizing their HS experience with friends. It's not surprising that this age group is struggling for numbers here in Portland. In other cities with more population, you have a better chance of filling out the rosters with college bound players and girls who love soccer and are willing to put in that time committment for one last year.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Yep, we are just going to ride it out and at least we get to see her play one more year at home. Kids are gone in a flash.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Good for her for playing through her senior year. Looking back to the start of this journey for us, it seems like yesterday. Boy it sure went fast.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Funny enough, her development wasn't because of ECNL.
AHHAHAHAHAHHA You mean she got this way without ECNL NO<<<<<<Comment

You are such a D!CK. ECNL has been going for a few months. To see how the ECNL delivers we will have to wait and see how the 99 and 00's perform in a couple of years, and what kind of college scholarships are earned.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The particular subject was in response to whoever keeps saying our ECNL teams have no talent. It seems that if, lets say, our U18 team (just picking one) has this many 1st team all state players on it and combined with there other club accomplishments, I would say that whoever (probably you) keeps claiming they have no talent are completely just a bunch of trolls.

I hate to tell you this but scholarships aren't the point. No one is sure what the point is, but it isn't scholarships.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You might want to tell that to some other ECNL parents who post on here who say scholarships aren't the point.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If you think that being a high school star means everything, consider this interesting stat: not a single one of the projected starting players in next weekend's Super Bowl received a 5-star rating (the highest available) coming out of high school.

There are similar statistics for soccer but this is a newer read. High school ball is not a good indicator for many reasons... first and foremost it depends on the strength of the high school team which isn't dependent on one player.Comment

So your saying that the list of All State 1st team players from one to eleven are not top soccer players in Oregon????Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
I'm looking at that list and I don't see any one of them that I would not want on my team.Comment
