Of course now like 7 clubs have DAs at the younger ages.

Your club choice may depend, ultimately, on which side of Scholls Ferry you live on.
Having volunteered at the WT tryouts last year, quite a few players there, with some going back and forth trying to make their decision. Had to decide which team would see them as starters.
Joaquim and others worked hard making phone calls to players. Seems he forgot how much Westside was there for him when his family was going through an extremely tough time. Understood that he found a funder and was able to start a club. All good and wish the best and everyone ended up where they would get playing time. Nothing more to read into it.

Westside Timbers T/S are Washington County
SSC is Washingtion County.
BSC is Washington/Multnomah Co.
Not sure you knew about that fact.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhen a local coach blowhard makes up stories about becoming a future HS aged USDA club in Oregon, those in the know at the Timbers DA confronted him about this lie, isn't that what most sane people do when presented with falsehoods? You have a point perhaps they of just ignored him like most in the community do. Live and Learn.
But honestly, this whole concept of the Timbers Academy as being the sole pathway has been tried and is honestly a failure.
We need multiple healthy clubs in this state, with multiple potential development pathways.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes, but most of the decent players (boys) come from Southside, with a few from LO. The other feeders all stink.
Southside (TIgard) is falling apart. They pulled out of Crossfire Oregon boys and are trying to stay afloat. Crossfire Oregon is LOSC, WUSC (WL/Wilsonville), ORegon CIty & Clackamas united (rumored to out soon as well).
Not really a destination for strong WA. county kids who already have the strongest boys club in their backyard.

It happened.
With that said what does that have to do with making up stories about becoming a DA program?
Are you suggesting there should be more DA Academy teams in Portland your nuts they can barely make the one they have even work when it's fully funded by the MLS Timbers.

"Big" clubs miss players all the time, whether in England, Spain, or little P-town. The sport needs multiple healthy clubs, irrespective of what platform they are playing in.
