yep, 4th in FWRL is equal to 2nd in the Mountain Division of ECNL Northwest Conference

At least, every FWRL team is much better than Boise or Utah ECNL and the Portland ECNL teams would be lucky to finish 4th. Other than U17, the PDX ECNL teams are all well down in a terrible NWCL and aren't doing that hot in ECNL league play. But don't tell Angry ECNL Poster that, he might blow a gasket.

It is what it is

It's actually 5 age groups.

Looks like they had a good turnout the other day for CU.

Actual email read:
Please have THUSC, LOSC, WUSC, SSC & Clackamas United classic girls teams and coaches aged u13 come to Hazelia field by lakeridge HS for a workout.

On you tube and for the public we say:
it's a 'PRE-ECNL' event.

Nice.

Thanks for the effort :)

No problem, not much effort. Stated a fact about how many age groups and posted a video CU shared on Facebook.

And here is the email we received.


The Elite Club National League (ECNL) was founded to enhance the developmental experience of the female youth soccer players in the United States through:
• Improving the competitive environment through creation of a true national competitive league with multiple flights;
• Improving the process for identifying elite female soccer players for the U.S. Soccer youth national teams through a systematic scouting and identification program based on national competitions;
• and Improving the daily training environment at top female youth soccer clubs through developing best practices and training and organizational guidelines for its member clubs.

When's the Academy v ECNL showdown?

The real event is going to be the parents of Academy vs parents of encl. A no holds barred cage match in wrestling tights. Angry CU mom vs TA guy will be the headline bout.

Broadcast live on the thusc youtube channel.

Heads are going to roll.
