Ecnl is going bye bye

$500 like the boys

Do you mean the boys pay $500 per event or for the year? I am assuming you mean for the year. A soccer event to travel to a place like San Diego or Las Vegas cost about $9000-10,000 for a team. Who is subsidizing the rest of the cost on the boys side

The Timbers subsidize it

The Timbers subsidize it

You need to stay off the sauce if you think the Timbers are going to subsidize the about $50k/ event (4-5 age groups) and then multiply that number by 3-4 events per year.

Again, I think the results the USWNT is getting is working out quite well and most of those players are feeding from ECNL teams.

Some observations
1) Many posters talking about results and winning not development. Each parent should be focused more on how their dd is growing as a player. That growth doesnt have to happen at a particular club or team. It may be different for different players. Many of your comments are an example of what is wrong with youth sports today.
2) I also see several "we are better than you comments". Do you need a reminder on how old you are?? We all know better than to act like that, but we continue to do it. Cant we be respectful of each other? Again, another example of what is wrong in youth sports.
3) I also must point out that many of these clubs are not developing players they are acquiring players because of the programs they offer, such as ecnl. Many of the top talent came to those clubs that way. Nothing wrong with this, but just note that they did not develop much of the talent.
4) Food for thought, only 10.1% of high school girls playing soccer will play in college. I know we all think our little Suzy is one of them, but the statics are not in her favor, no matter what you do or what league you put her in.

Success of USWNT has very little to do with ECNL. It has more to do with competitive advantages such as largest player pool versus any other country and resources. Did you hear about how the Trinidad team regularly only has nine players at training as many can't get to practices: cost of transportation, etc?

you are one lost puppy and the reason for our problems with youth soccer in our country.

you focus so heavily on leagues, tournaments and events. Training is where it is at. These teams will be limited to a 20 game season and will train waaaaaaaaaay more than play games.

I just confirmed this. USSDA is taking over ECNL. It will happen in 2016

I'm an ecnl parent but let's at least be honest in our posts. ET 00 won state 4 years in a row. They had some very strong players, many who are now playing ecnl for both CU and FCP.

State Cup was not their only accomplishment, either. That team traveled to take on better competition. FWRL and NWCL multiple years. Mustang in California. Las Vegas. They showed quite well (quarter finals) at regionals, too. They had several very talented, and extraordinarily competitive individual players and they played well together. Sad that the parents killed that team.

I love it how gullible people are. Oregon ECNL is not going away and as long as ECNL exist so will these teams
