Okay let me try to respond in order. First, the girls with accolades will play where the families choose to play which initially likely will not be the DA for many of the committed players. I like that you say that the clubs have committed to putting players somewhere when the families of the players will be making that decision not the clubs. Second, not one of those non-ECNL clubs that you mentioned has a better record of producing national team and/or college players than ANY of the ECNL clubs in SoCal. Regarding where your kid would be that is your judgement as I don't know your kid. Kinda weird that you mentioned riding the pine. I can assure you my player won't be riding the pine this year and I won't get into where but it is a top program. I repeat that the coaches will recruit the players with accolades first and foremost.
Sorry about your experience with Strikers. They seem to have plenty of strong players going to good schools. You mention the 4X USYS national championship Legends club. How many of those titles came prior to the ECNL clubs pulling out of the USYS championships? We all know that the number is a big fat zero. That is the same for Beach and Albion, LA Premier and Galaxy have yet to win a title in the watered down USYS so what does that say about their worthiness? We won't even mention the NWSL teams because they are just complicit beneficiaries of the power grab and aren't expected to have actually done anything.
Say what you want, but the top league will be the DA. All clubs of interest (ECNL or not) are kissing US Soccer ass right now, the ones that got in and the ones that didn't. There are a couple of VERY DESPERATE clubs in SoCal still trying to get in, and they wear the patch.
Take out Blues, Slammers, and Surf, and nobody else in SoCal ECNL contributes to your USYNT argument.
I imagine your daughter as fast, either to get on the end of a long ball up front, or to run everything down in the back. I hope she is on the U20 WC roster along with the other NON-ECNL High School seniors. If not, then this is precisely why US Soccer is wanting to influence development, so a great athlete like your daughter reaches her full potential in the future.
FYI--Legends was winning State National Cups prior to ECNL. Excluding them just eliminated the competition. Beach is a much younger club. Both contributing to the national team programs in a healthy way, and at a better rate than most SoCal ECNL teams.
