    This is the first real year so you will have to wait. I have one child who played D1 soccer, one who still does and another who will try the academy. My daughter that is still playing college ball came up through the soccer ranks playing for what is now a Timbers affiliated team and playing ODP. The landscape changes and each landscape has plenty of opportunity.

        It's not terrible. Give it 4-5 years to see how it shakes out. It will either fold or maybe get better. Too early at this point. Not fair to judge after only 2-3 years.

          1st year? This is the 4th year for Thorns Academy. TO have ZERO girls go to college in 3 years is a horrible result. Timbers should be ashamed and should shut down the whole program. It's been a debacle and fiasco from day 1.

            But all the Timbers clowns are willing to judge the Oregon ECNL clubs after the same amount of time. Hmmm....

              Even your own board and members are judging Ecnl scam. You are losing players, getting killed, poor coaching, and it's getting worse.

              Oh and it was sold as the cure to cancer and even the second teams would be amazing.

              Everyone is judging you when the lies are coming out.

              It's like saying don't judge a broke down car because it's only been 3 years.

              Stupid Ecnl idiot.

                      With the way players jump around from team to team, how can any club/organization lay claim to getting any one player a scholarship? Also, with all the personal training/camps players attend, I don't see anyone club can take that honor of claiming they were the one that got the player the scholarship. They can only claim they found the player an opportunity to be seen or did a good job marketing that player.

                      Look at all the time and money the parents spent from U5-U19 for that marketing. It is business. If you are good they will find you. If they do not find you, then you go try walk on. If you are good they will make scholarship offer.

                        Who's losing players? FCP has more players than last year and has been growing every year for the last 5 year - in an environment where youth soccer registrations are declining - just ask the Alliance clubs about the decline...

                          The assumption that "if you are good, they will find you" has been proven false so many times it's ridiculous that clowns like you still cling to that belief.

                            If you think it's untrue you have blinders on.

                                Just watched the older team at the friendship cup. I realize they may not have everyone but that team is awful
