I have no idea if this newest elite league is truly elite or a straight up scam. But in answer to the comments about why leave OYSA, visit the thread about college outcomes. Consistently, players who stay in OYSA are less successful in more challenging college programs. There are exceptions - Skiba at OSU is a great example. But generally speaking if your kid is talented enough to compete for playing time at a P5 program (this does not apply to 99.5% of the kids in Oregon), he or she needs to develop speed and skills playing against the strongest competition out there. That is not in OYSA. Beating up easy teams in OYSA doesn’t lead to success in college. Look at Capital’s 01’s if you don’t believe me.
It might be less fun to be on a weaker ECNL or GAL or elite or whatever the teams are called these days, and struggle to win games. But for those few kids who want to compete at the highest levels in college, that experience in club is critical.
