Thorns Academy Dead?

How is that much different than the bottom half girls signed up to play ECNL?

What is "pre ECNL" other than a marketing scam to get kids over.

Lol.
New thorns academy marketing slogan "ECNL is a scam too".

No. It's Portland ECNL is a scam. And it's not new, everyone knew this from the beginning.

Dang I fell for the ECNL scam. They promised we would play better competition, they promised we would have lots of college coaches during our games, and they were up front with the time commitment and travel schedule.

They promised a college commitment. So sorry. They did promise lots of costs. And that held true.

You must have been at the wrong meeting because NO coach from CU ever promised college scholarship, but they did promise exposure. I think if you look at their 2017 class it is working out pretty good

ECNL did nothing for them. If you think it did! Then you sure wasted a ton of money in the previous years. Lolol

Didn't do a lot for the 2016 class. Nor the 2017 FC class. Lots of 2018s around the country have offers, yet none from Portland. Hasn't helped them much. So, whatcha got now?

Unfortunately PSU isn't so good academically. Or soccerly.

That's why Clark's panties are in a wad. $50K spent on youth soccer to play at a bottom tier D1 school while teammates are at Pac 12 schools.

Seriously, why are you calling out a player by name here? These are kids. Only a few kids from Oregon get Pac 12 offers.

One guy in here responding to his own post. Seems to be Angry ECNL Poster. Come on Clark, live with it, she only got an offer to PSU. Sure it sucks after all that money spent. But live with it.

PSU << ECNL << thorns academy << Jesuit

So the Thorns Academy is done?! That's a bummer. It looked to be a good option for those that wanted to pay 2/3 as much as ECNL, travel only 1/3 as much, all to play inferior competition.

Wrong, it's still around.

Really? That's nice for those kids that decided on that option.

Hopefully, they have pulled the plug on this pile of crap, so the kids don't to dump money into playing FWRL and in Vegas dominating the Silver division.
