She might be fast. If she is fast enough that is all you need. ECNL is at its highest level is just High School kids. If you are really fast you can make a ton of mistakes and recover. It’s like having a big eraser. [/quote]

Dumbest statement of the day award.

And what does just high school kids mean? WTF do you expect them to be? Robots? I’m mean, at the end of the day, we’re all humans. So why do you get paid more than others? We’re all humans, so why is Tom Brady a great quarterback and I’m not? So forth and so on

No it make totally sense. In high school and lower you can be one dimensional(fast/great athlete) and just show up. I have seen it a many times especially with speed. Someone shows up and has speed(like 4.5 in the 40 speed boy or like 5.0 for a girl), they will make a place for them.  Now at the next level(college or pros) the differential in athleticism decreases and it becomes about skill. [/quote]

The tall, superfast kid with no skill?  Good centerbacks sort kids like that out by U13.[/quote]

Sure - but the good centerbacks aren't playing in high school since they are playing on teams which discourage or flat out forbid it.

There are plenty of high school teams (no - probably not the top ones) where the PP is absolutely correct - and a blazingly fast kid who really can't play will get on the team and even start.[/quote]

Dude....you need to stop. You sound foolish. [/quote]

You're confused.  I'm the guy who made the last comment, but not the one who made the earlier comment. I'm agreeing with him (or her) because I have seen it with my own eyes.[/quote]

You have seen what with your own eyes? [/quote]

Blazingly fast kids with no ball skills starting on a high school team.[/quote]

HS coaches don’t have the luxury of picking their student athletes. A HS team will always have players with different talent, club, and league levels. That’s the beauty of HS soccer. It’s not meant to be the greatest show on earth. It’s meant to represent your school in a sport and play with your classmates. [/quote]

I completely agree with all of that - which doesn't change the fact that the PP was correct in his assertion that athletes without much skill can make those teams.  Nothing wrong with it - it's just a fact.[/quote]

I’m not debating that. I’m debating that the poster say you can make a ECNL team because they are nothing but HS girls.

[/quote]

Well someone seemed to be debating that :-).  And yes - I (although not at least one other poster) agree with you on your position that ECNL is different from HS in that regard.[/quote]
