It was predictable that the soccer community would snicker at the overall quality of players in the GDA. It’s not about having better players. It’s just a different experience for the kids.
It was and still is my opinion that the rosters should be kept private to prevent the negative comments on quality of the players. Yes some kids from B teams and non starters might have signed up but you have to roll with what you got.
Good luck to everyone in Oregon.

Sorry cant cheer for that, only LOL at the parents and say shame on the clubs.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThorns is just another option for kids. Nobody said they were better or worse than other clubs. It really just comes down to who wants to work hard to get better. If the B teamers that your refer to work hard, someday maybe they will be A teamers and that’s the goal to get better. The overall soccer quality in Oregon is middle of the road so we’re not talking big time wherever you go. Just have fun.
If you wind up with underperforming kids the goal would be to make them better.
Measuring success IMO isn’t necessarily in the overall quality of the players or team, but more about how much the kids improve from beginning to end of the season.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt’s the American way. You have to unfsrstand that top players don’t have to make the sacrifices that others do. Missing school to travel, giving up high school sports, missing school events on and on are big sacrifices. The point of this program I assume is to make kids better.

Has the HS ban changed? Last year, HS seniors could play both but had to take a ‘leave’ from GDA during HS season. It looks like they are allowed to do both at the same time now. Is this only for seniors?
