Boys U13/U14 - 2019-2020 Leagues

Who they'll play for 20 games is largely irrelevant to making them better players. The training environment is everything. Go watch a training and compare it to what your son is getting at his current club. The TA is on a different level. That's really what he's signing up for.

No one is going to disagree with that.

Which is why it's not crazy to imagine they'll train during the week at TA and play with club teams on Saturdays as opposed to chasing some other solution.

As they say in Hollywood, "don't call us. We'll call you".

Or literally any other academy in the world

Something that would make sense would be for Timbers to have a reserve team that plays in OYSA premier.

It would probably get thrashed on occasion, but if it's the B team, shouldn't cost the Timbers any face. And better then hauling those kids to Seattle or San Francisco to sit on the bench.

Great idea, since one of the primary complaints I hear about TA is lack of playing time for players not in the top 11.
