[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PDA is the real deal. Even if DA is better, the fact that PDA brought home multiple titles says enough. PDA is a super club.

PDA is one of those clubs that doesn't need a league. They went back to ECNL because they can charge for two ECNL teams and pull it off. It isn't about any ideological belief in this league versus that league. ECNL gave them two teams and a showcase to host. ANY club takes that deal 10 out of 10 times but not many clubs can demand that kind of a deal.

There are only 5 or so clubs in the nation with that kind of cache though the rest are just not that different than any other club.[/quote]

They went back to ECNL because players wanted to play high school and the coaches didn’t like having tactics dictated to them from Chicago. The “back to ECNL to charge more money theory” makes no sense. Not every club is a money grubbing cash grab.[/quote]

I love the revisionist history that claims that ECNL has always been in lock step and in full support of High School Soccer. While never forbidden by the league High School Soccer was always heavily discouraged by ECNL club coaches.

Now ECNL clubs are using HS soccer as a distinction because it suits their needs not because they suddenly see it’s benefits. [/quote]

Check out PDA’s scores and rosters last year in the DA. There was clear improvement and different players playing in the spring for the older age groups. They had girls play high school in the fall and then join the DA in the spring. Many ecnl programs discourage high school soccer even today. PDA is not one of them.[/quote]

They may have the player pool to absorb it but kids run the risk of being outperformed by their replacements and potentially losing their roster spot. [/quote]
