ECNL can be a good fit for some children but I would look at it differently than one responder. If your child is going to have a hard time being selected for an ECNL team in a few years then why are you going to waste your money on that now? Good players will be chosen at a later date no matter what.
Timbers Alliance is not a club. While some people may say that clubs that all form the TA do not develop girls I disagree. At younger ages many of these clubs developed exceptional players that went on to play at a high level. So, rather than looking at the record for the club I would look at geography and costs. If they are closer to your house at the younger ages then that is a good thing.
Depending on the age of your child you should be more concerned with access and if your child will be happy there. Do they have friends playing at a club? Carpooling is nice. Good luck and don't get sucked in to the thought that there is only one way to a higher level or that a higher level is even necessary!!
