lots of sloppy soccer on all fields 'champions' included. Stop whining about the fields you all know nothing Anrold Palmer included. If your first touch is garbage the field conditions only magnify technical defieciencies

Just bc college coaches show up doesn't mean they are recruiting from the league. You guys have no clue.

Been going for 5+ years. Coach turnout was reasonable but low this year.

Champions up team + received a long list of college coaches that were watching each game.

While ECNL rules for the majority of P4 commits, their are still hundreds recruited from GA. You are actually the one with no clue. There are over 1,000 commitments each year to D1 alone and around a 70/30 split between ECNL/GA. You can't right off 300 players just because you have a clueless opinion. Their are quite a few players on the same level as the top ECNL players as well. I just watched those players for Tophat, SDA, among others.

Not sure if you are a VDA parent, but having someone like BP on your side is a difference maker. For better or for worse. Remember, just because your DD might go P4, it doesn't necessarily mean they belong. Just look at VT and JMU transfer portal alone. If your child goes P4, gets little to no minutes, is unhappy, transfers, she is either going to Mid-major, bottom D1, or quitting all together. With an attitude like some of you have, don't be surprised when you end up in this boat.

Our DD has had offers from P4, D1, D2, and DIII. DD is actually leaning DIII currently and the recruiting process is still heavily busy among mid-majors. P4s are pretty much wrapped up with a few spots still available. DD does not want to play P4 for multiple reasons. Personally I wanted her to take on the challenge but also understand the risks...We have received two emails just yesterday from more mid major D1 schools requesting a call. Both specifically mentioned watching her at Champions Cup. Both are also quality schools.

The only place where I would bash GA is the bottom table teams. Bottom table ECNL teams would likely beat bottom table GA teams by double digits. IMO, the majority of players on these GA teams will struggle to even play DIII while the ECNL counterpart should be able to play DIII easily.

This is from someone with an actual clue!

Can't say if this is true or false. Most people are indifferent about the lowest level teams in a league. Kind of an odd thing to hang your hat on. If this is just a general observation then maybe but again who cares.

SYC won their showcase

At what age and what Group were they in? GA showcases are not random, they rank/seed them ... the higher group in the showcase the better the teams ... Some of those teams are still eligible to get the final 4 spots in Champions Cup as a wildcard.

They won the second group of the top bracket and posted they won the top flight. Lost 0-4 tons winless NC Fusion.

NC Courage 2011 actually won the 2010 top group.
