Tryout Numbers?

I think in the long term DA may be a better option, but if you are currently in HS then I think is ECNL is a better path due to most of the stronger teams have passed on the DA. This is not to be a dig, but the NW is not made up of very strong teams. Be honest with yourself, based upon US Soccer requirements the Thorns DA would never be invited as they have ZERO track record

NWSL Championship did the trick with track record. The best clubs in the PNW have moved up to the DA platform. Same goes for the talent laden Cal-South clubs. Playing in HS makes sense for Oregonians as it's the highest level of competition they may ever compete at. Compared to other areas of the country that have girls not even playing HS because the level is too low and the risk of injury too high, giving up HS isn't given a 2nd thought fo those elite players. We don't have those type of decisions to make in Oregon. Just need to choose a rec club for the off season, that's it.

Have you ever picked actual cherries?

No, but I've popped a few.

It's bad enough that your brain goes there, but to say it out loud on a board shows a complete lack of any social grace.

The NWSL is probably not helping. It does good in Portland but not many other places.

I watched an NWSL game that had maybe 1200 people at it and was played on a pitch youbwiukdbt let high school boys play on it was so bad.

Thanks for the laugh. FCP and CU are the ONLY clubs putting dozens of girls into college soccer anymore. Thornz Asylum = ZERO.

True and ECNL allows you to live a normal life and enjoy high school experiences.

Most of us have a normal life and play HS Soccer without having to fork over 10K to do it.

This is somewhat false. I know several ECNL girls that have had to give up swimming, track and basketball because of rigorous ECNL schedules. Also missed many important school events including spring and winter formals due to game and "showcase" travel. So easy on the chatter about ECNL providing time for "high school experiences".

Pros aren't concerned about crowds.

Also say goodbye to softball and LaCrosse.

Saw that you missed some names. also noticed you have names from different clubs and included Crossfire and FC. Looks like an impressive list representing many interests.

Quit the judgement and congratulate these young women.
