How did thornz acad end up such a mess?

Hopefully it's not too expensive to go to Vegas. Hotels can be cheap down there if it's not too busy. It's fun for kids to see the town. Fun to hang out together.

Luckily, Thorns Academy players don't pay a dime. Timbers Alliance players & all OYSA players pick up the tab for them, airfare, hotel, food and all. The wins are just icing on top of the free cake. Nice gig.

Local level players play at FC PDX or THUSC/LOSC aka: CU.

How many beatings and thousands of dollars spent, until you realize there is no such thing as elite-level of girls soccer in Oregon?

Stronger opponents from across the country can't beat it out of you (an elite level), no matter how many airline miles and hilton rewards you accumulate it can't found.

It doesn't exist.

Play were you belong at the local level or continue the charade.

It's hilarious.

Look like they're doing pretty well considering they play in the only elite National league in the country. All Oregon ECNL teams would simply walk away unscathed in OYSA Premier. Sorry your DD got cut, again, and you can't get over it. Just the facts.

Shhhh. Don't tell the Thorns parents it's free. They may start to question why they are cutting $1000 checks to Peregrine every month.

Free for all. Flights, hotels, gear, everything. Can't beat that.

It's not free. You pay the same as everyone else.

The Thorns Academy don't have to pay for league or tournaments or travel or anything? No wonder girls are driving from so far away. ECNL & even club travel teams are so expensive. When are tryouts for next year?

The Thorns Academy is the same as any other club. Parents pay for fees and travel out of pocket.

The serious frustration for the Thorns is the lack of game history. Getting seeded really low in tournaments is frustrating. The cost is expensive to go play B and C teams in California and Vegas. Should be doing more competitive tournaments.

What do they expect playing OYSA and Beaverton? There were plenty of competitive tournaments they could have done last summer. They chose to play in Beaverton. Don't complain to us because your lack of a tournament record causes you to be lumped in with lowly Eugene in tournament brackets.

Thorns Academy better be free. It's definitely not something anybody would want to pay for.
