It's been a spectacle to date. Playing in bronze level competition against C teams. Now they are mandated to practice 4 minimum days per week, travel out of town extensively during school, banned from high school, very few college signings etc. Most top clubs putting A team in ECNL.

Plus the NWSL is very unpopular throughout most of the country. Pro pay is very very low.

Will they last very long? Opinions?

One more thing is the extreme try out fees. $125 for 4 hours?

$75 an hour for a group kick around? That seems outlandish. What's the scoop on that?

Better question is will they even get started. Can you say "stillborn"?

That's a good term for Oregon ECNL.

Doesn't matter since you're not interested in the GDA anyhow.

If people are interested they'll pay the money to do what they want for their child.

You can stick with ECNL and let others decide for themselves.

$2k plus $125 is still a whole lot less than the ECNL rates.

Paying 1/3 the price for 1/100 the quality doesn't seem like a very good deal.

ECNL is Norstorm.

GDA is Kmart. Cheaper, but you get what you pay for.

Is that another retail chain going under? Thought so.

Quality matters. Buying cheap junk is still buying junk.

Four practices a week and being out of town on weekends is hard on homework time.

GDA teams will not be travelling every weekend as some are making it sound. Probably no more than FC P, and Crossfire do playing in the ecnl league.

Almost same amount but in GDA the travel expenses are all paid for by the Thorns and ECNL it's paid for by player's families.

Only a dumbass Crossfire mom would be comparing shopping at Nordstroms to her daughter's soccer team.

BTW-It's Nordstrom.

You'd be laughed at in the retail world. Can find same products sold at both only with different labels sewn in and different price tags.

I used to buy Bijan on Rodeo. Now, if I still wore it, I'd have my choices.
1. Go back to House of Bijan.
2. Go to Kmart.
3. Order from elsewhere.

Same thing for a T-shirt dress I saw on Rodeo. $495.
Had it in my closet at home. $19.99 sale price, Gap.

Same products, different price points. Snobs need not apply.

ECNL is SkyMall.

GDA is amazon.com, with a digital coupon that gets you 80% off retail.
