Appreciate the feedback! With two daughters here in Seattle, have had plenty of time to explore UW, amazing campus and soccer field on the lake, toured SeattleU, beautiful campus and underrated Div1 program. Visited Bain ridge island, pike place, and even got some fly fishing in. Good luck to all the socal girls today!! And I was able to do all this because the backend of upper90rankings.com is all automated. Adding GA, DPL, and boys over the summer.

Are you guys playing at Five Points? I took my family up there in 2017 for Far West Regionals and we won it all and earned a trip to Texas the following week where her team won the National Championship. I think it was the last Socal Team to win it all? By the way, great job and thank you for putting the time in to break down the facts. Slammers is kicking ass is now the #1 club, moo. Scoreboard is scoreboard. My dd knows many on the older teams and we can;t be more proud of them. Good luck to all the Socal teams and please bring back the Cup where it rightfully belongs, in Socal :)

Imagine, a coaches nightmare, while coaches sell sunshine & rainbows, someone else is putting an empirical model in place that measures them relative to their peers. There's no reason he can't build this up and create a business out of it with a nice little revenue stream for himself. Youth soccer is a business after all, with parents spending billions annually on it.

Part time side hustle and he's done a very nice job. Looks clean and sharp and nothing to debate. His numbers look legit. I would offer a team discount for access to the top 25 in each age group. Some one needs to make a Champions League Tournament and allow a GA or a DPL or a AYSO Select team upset ECNL team. MLS LA Galaxy just got spanked by USL. That's why I like soccer.

Well Jim, if you thought I was done after four years of telling everyone I'm leaving, the joke is on you.....lol! I'm really only addressing three men on here and they know who they are. I have addiction to this place and the PMs got out of control. This crush is way better and as each day comes, I become a better version of myself. I will keep my post light hearted and few. Each day for me is getting better and I like to put my two cents in and my best pal is going to VA. and I feel I want to honor that and leave the right way.

We all know the ECNL is scared to step up to the other leagues. They love the superioriy myth.
