Oregon ECNL results to date

They probably couldn't boot the ball 60 yds like your TA players. HS coach is for sure a clown.

No, the players sucked. It was pretty telling. Pretty sad when an ECNL player won't make varsity until their jr. year. And the JV players said she was pretty average on their team. Boy, that's really an endorsement. It's the ECNL coach that is a clown. But everyone who knows him thinks that of him anyway.

Reading comprehension is a must.

When you really mean that 3 or 4 ECNL players are really driven to compete and the rest are just filling out the roster, then say so.

You are delusional if you think that all of the competition that Portland ECNL has faced is better than NWCL and FWRL. There are some putrid teams in ECNL and Portland teams still manage to lose to them. LOL

Says the guy whose never seen an ECNL game. It's OK buddy, keep kicking it long.

Still 4 more than the entire Timbers Alliance.

Any team can get a .500+ winning percentage if more than half your games are against Timbers Alliance teams. Just look at how the Timbers teams have done in NWCL and FWRL (both better competition than OYSA but still far less than ECNL) and you'll see that the Timbers teams records are horrible. Fact of the matter is, the winning percentage in ECNL doesn't matter. What matters is whether the girls are developing better and faster facing strong competition all the time. The answer to this is clearly YES; just look at how the gap between the ECNL teams and the Timbers teams has widened in just 2 years of ECNL. There is already no comparison between the two.

Our TA team has competed in both the NWCL and FWRL (plus Surf Cup and Las Vegas Showcase) for several years. We have always finished well in these competitions. Not sure why you criticize teams and clubs from smaller communities like ours (Eugene). Our TA club/coaches/DOC all do a good job training kids from our area. Good luck in State Cup or ENCL or wherever your kids are playing.

Honestly, there are trolls on here stirring the pot, but yes their is definitely an ECNL Vs TA thing going on too. When people are talking about the TA clubs, they are specifically referring to Portland area. And as far as the success Eugene has had, they had that success prior to being apart of the Timbers Alliance. Being from a smaller area is tough for options and Eugene has done a good job of training players and helping them get to the next level. We are also from a smaller area and have chosen to go to Portland from some years now, soccer wise however, being from Eugene does not allow you the same options. There is an option available to your daughter without having to leave her current club but participate in ECNL. If your daughter is a great player and needs more than what she is able to get locally, she can stay with her local club and be a discovery player for an ECNL team, just a suggestion and something if interested go straight to one of the ECNL teams DOCs, don't try to get the facts here.

When you suggest a player "stay" with her local club and be a discoveyr player on an ECNL team... what does this mean? Not sure how a player can do both. ECNL discovery players think they can skip training and just play, but doesn't this go against the ECNL emphasis on training vs games?

Each ECNL team can roster 2 Discovery players. The spirit of Discovery is for a player who doesn't have ECNL in their area to be able to play for her local club team and also ECNL. However, a local Portland girl that is currently playing on a non ECNL could be a Discovery player and also be rostered on her current team. The training would be some the 2 clubs and player would have to work out.

Discovery players are expected to attend training every week - just not all 4 sessions.

Make sure you dial up some ECNL teams in Washington or California to play on. Skip the Oregon teams, you are already on a better team.

More of the misinformation that TS provides. You don't have to attend training every week. We had a girl on our team who always trained with us and never trained with her discovery team. And one of my dd's classmates in college played for an ECNL team that was in San Diego and she lived in Las Vegas and didn't travel over to train weekly. It's up to the coach.

Not misinformation. Different clubs have different requirements. FCP requires discovery players to train at least 1 day per week with the club.

Maybe Oregon ECNL requires this. The truly elite clubs do not require training with the team if the player is worthy of taking one of the two available spots.

One of my older daughters was a discovery player first in Colorado then in Washington and never attended a practice but traveled and played every game. My younger daughter plays Oregon ECNL and we are giving serious consideration to moving clubs, training local and discovery play on a good team in another geographical area. The difference in the level of play between my younger daughter's Oregon team and my older daughters ECNL teams is night and day. It is disappointing and there is no alternative but to leave the state.

Keep up the lies and misinformation. There's a help line you can call for whatever mental condition it is that you have.
