    Yes, they are doing such a bang up job! Didnt do much on the girls side and we are the top in the world. Heavy hand on the boys side and men can't even qualify for heavily expanded WC! Their "scouting" is rivaled only by their training mandates.

      A third parent with the observation that there is no denial. At some point, it is not USSF or the scouts.

        This is one of the biggest reasons soccer fails. So many of opinions are based on nothing more than someone elses. for years the 200 BBA striker hardly got a look with the YNT while JDs kids were ever present. She is every bit as good as they were. You will see thaht in College.
        Thanks Mom.

          It's her dad. You can tell every post written by the man. His view is that his daughter is the entire team. We wish she'd go back to Scorpions.

              RICHMOND, VA (April 19, 2018) – The Girls Elite Clubs National League is excited to announce that FC Stars, Michigan Hawks, and PDA will be “All-In” clubs in the league in 2018-19. These clubs place the ECNL as the aspirational training and development environment for all female players within the club, and at the top of their competitive pyramid.

              Representing 3 of the most successful clubs in the history of American girls soccer, in both player development and competitive accomplishment, these clubs will join the incredible list of 79 “All-In” clubs across the country in the ECNL in 2018-19, with more still to come.

              “The ECNL was created to serve players, coaches, and clubs within a holistic development environment that collaboratively raises standards in all aspects of the game,” said ECNL President Christian Lavers. “We are proud to have so many clubs totally committed to that mission. The ECNL and its member clubs will continue to lead innovation and improvement in youth club soccer, develop the next generation of collegiate stars and national team players, and support the success of US Soccer’s national teams.”

              Five core values define the ECNL’s mission to “Raise the Game,” and powerfully drive forward the league’s player-centric philosophy:

                I feel sorry for the potential NT players on those 3 teams. USSF will drop them like a..... don’t say you weren’t warned.

                  If they don't drop them they'll lose all credibility. Ecnl fired a shot across the bow. Its GDA's turn to show them who holds the keys to the castle.

                    I know one girl is leaving for BBA. The parents have been talking, maybe more to come, or the tip of the iceberg.

                        I know several BBA DA players that are coming to Stars. They are very disgruntled with lack of playing time. Sitting out ENTIRE games while already committed players play the entire game at showcases and coach uses very few subs. Much fewer than allowed.

                          It’s an open market, so of course they are free to move where they please, but what did they think they were buying with GDA? USSF made it clear that what they really cared about was developing the (very) few YNT prospects scattered throughout the league. DA substitution rules were not designed for equity. If players that are unhappy thought they would come out on the right side of that trade, maybe they simply overestimated their abilities.

                          Sure, they call it Development Academy, but clubs still want to win games to protect their reputations, so there will always be the temptation for coaches to exploit the DA substitution rules in ways that players who are lower on the roster, and their paying parents, will find unfair.

                          Stick with DA if you like, but better be sober about your D’s ability to crack the starting 11, otherwise you’re likely going to have a disgruntled bench-rider on your hands.

                            Bench players dropping down from DA to ECNL makes a lot of sense.

                                Not just bench players are leaving. More importantly good luck filling the roster with other skilled players. The gap between the top of the roster and players #6-22 will only get deeper. It will make the already uneven competition and performance even worse.
