Thorns Academy Dead?

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.

Why do you continue to make yourself look so bad. If you have a problem with that family confront them face to face and get it settled. At the end of the day they made a school decision that was right for them and that is all that matters. I hope your child gets the opportunity to play at a school that is a great fit for your family, that could be NAIA or D1 does not matter as long as its the correct school for your dd. Good luck and try being a little more mature. I know this is TS but you have reached a new low in your posts.

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.

Thorns are going strong. They should finish close to the middle in FWRL.

Considering the ages on the roster, they might be allowed.

0 wins in FWRL Friday. I thought these were supposed to be "Elite" players with "Top Level" coaching training in a "Professional Environment"? Seems no different than if they were called Eastside Timbers...

Don't the Thorns have 13yr olds playing on the u16 team because they couldn't get enough players? Tough going.

I was under the impression the U14 girls were just practice players. No?

Are you talking about the Thorns or ECNL? The above applies to both.

Until we can put aside egos and differences, Oregon will struggle to compete at the non-local level with occasional one team exceptions.

What do you expect with players used as tug a war ropes in ego wars between clubs. Parents never happy. Constantly looking for more, and more moving their player out and another moves in.

Why do we care if Oregon can build a team to compete nationally? They don't hand out scholarships to full teams. More importantly, how are the individual kids developing? The top kids are better off being spread out on different teams so they get the practice time and game minutes necessary for them to max their development at their position of choice. Team trophies benefit ambitious coaches much more than the players.

Timbers get out of youth soccer and it's all good. They've done nothing but screw it up so far.
