Thorns GDA cost questions

[Unregistered]

I'm contemplating having my daughter attend GDA tryouts. So, I am trying to find out some answers that seem difficult to locate.

NW GDA league appears to be made up of teams from not only Portland, but Redmond WA, Seattle WA, Issaquah WA, Burlingame CA, Sacramento CA,, Campbell CA, Kaysville UT, Moraga CA, and San Jose CA. So any and all away games will either Seattle, or in Northern CA and/or UT. Then showcase tournament(s)?

Are the Timbers/Thorns going to subsidize the travel costs for their teams? Are accommodations going to have to be compromised? What will be the means of travel? IF my daughter attends, is offered a spot and accepts (yes, she has to earn it first), will she be riding 10-12 hours in a van/bus to get to away contests?

Where and when can I get these answers? I can't seem to locate them on the Thorn website. Is it in writing somewhere? I know my daughter is excited by the thought of being near Thorns players, and the possibility of wearing the same patch on her jersey, but what are the realities of how this is really going to play out?

All will be revealed to those that make it...the boys DA families have it all taken care of...wishing her luck at tryouts.

The parent info night answered all those questions. Travel is paid for. Bus to Seattle games and airplane to all others.

Don't forget that the same Thorns organization promised a summer showcase and it ended up being Beaverton Cup. Buyer beware. Nothing is for free in this life and you tend to get what you pay for.

Where your logic is flawed ID the current Thorns program is not playing in a US Soccer GDA league. GDA is a whole different national ballgame.
