'03 Division Outlook

That is so lame. We scored first so we should have won???

Here Ye, Here Ye, new NTX soccer rule---the team that scores first should win!

I thought the win was on a penalty kick, is that wrong?

DT-"South" - another excellent season for this talented team and coach. Lots of questions to be answered come select for this team and club. Does HN & the Texans Club work to make this team the marquee Dallas Texans Team of the age group? If so, who will coach? GA or RS or RM or other? Will the Dallas Texans consolidate other strong players towards this team within the club? Or does the club move the top core players from South to the Dallas side and work to make another top Dallas Texans team like years past come select? Whatever ever happens - I am sure HN will put his best '03 players players the club has in this age group to one team and the Texans Empire will be well represented come select! If not, HN could always get a top team from a rival and leave DT South alone?

Cosmos - as a small independent club from the economically challenged Park Cities area, TW has always beat the odds to place a LH D1 come select. Another up & down season for this team. Questions come select are simple; can they keep their core girls especially stud striker from being poached from their nemesis Sting? Or, can they poach players from the Sting factory of teams and complete roster with quality depth? Going to be fun to watch.

FCD - another solid season of play this fall with some great results! FCD will continue to try and poach what they can from their competitors and hope their top players hold and stay put. Lots of players playing for quite a few FCD teams in the age group to choose from to build "top" team come select. Who will be the coach? Will MGrubb coach this team come select or will the Diaz keep this ship and along with his ECNL teams? Hard to make games when you are out of town. Should be interesting.

FCD-East - like years past Coach JH will put together a very good team around a stud forward. It's going to be interesting to see which FCD team will be the better team come select. My bet is on East. For the club, its all good either way and FCD are in good shape going forward with ECNL to come.

Fever - another independent team from the Tarrant County area that had an up & down year, starting real strong and ending on a real low. Can this team keep their stud striker? Will they hold together at all come select. This team has a ton of questions regarding future than most, but hopes are they are still playing come select! Gave some teams a run for their money and were very competitive. One to keep an eye on come Spring, lots of variables here.

LP - the only big club that is NOT an ECNL member with tons of teams & players that currently has a very good top team. Lots of good questions to be answered come select? Does LW hand off top team to CPulp? Does this group combine all the top players from the other LP teams to form a LP super team? How will they respond to not being any ECNL member and keep elite players beyond first year of select. At the very least, for the first year of select, LP should have a top team .

SRSA - where do you start? Most dominant team by far over in the age group for sometime now! Where do they go from here? They will have a new coach coming this Spring with AS? Should we expect some "new" additions of other great players wanting to join before select? Most likely. Do they follow the Texans 02 from last year and only play boys next spring? With so many players and having a team that just played in Silver division can they put together another elite team that can actually compete with the top five in the age group in LH D1? If so, who will coach that one? No doubt this will be an elite team for years to come that will only get better and represent NT on the national stage as they get older. Going to be fun to watch.

Sting S & Sting M - with low roster numbers on both these teams now, do these two very good teams combine and become one? I know Out would like to see that! According to OUT, this will be "the top team" of the group? Still not convinced on that one. If so, who will be the coach this team come select? I am sure the powers of Sting are going to figure it out and Sting will be represented come select as one of the better teams to beat!

Sting W - will only continue to get better with their committed coach. Where do they add players from? Sting Dallas or from other Tarrant teams in the area? Most likely, other TC teams. By select RD will put together a solid D1 select team that will always be ready to play.

What other teams does everyone consider to be on the rise and ones to watch?

Couple of closing predictions that historically happens over the next 6/8 months before select ... Teams & coaches will actually change clubs, especially independents to one of the bigger ECNL clubs. Also, the top teams usually get EVEN stronger as "top" players from lesser teams want to play on top teams leaving 2 to 3 really dominant teams within the age group, while the rest will be very competitive amongst themselves. Good luck to all!!

New Updates.....

DT-"South" - Lots of questions to be answered come select for this team and club. ---- Lots of Red out an about all across town. Will this be the same team come Spring? Playing in the DT Fall Festival this weekend, who is going to still be wearing Texan Red?

Cosmos - Star forward seen elsewhere, if this talent leaves the group, could spell trouble come Spring. Will see if she is around this weekend playing at Primetime and with whom? Good matchups with LP Dalglish and Solar Blue

FCD - Heard they couped a DTS player of great talent, is this true?

FCD-East - Haven't heard any exciting news from this camp on players coming in or out. Any updates from anyone?

Fever - Is this team even still together? Losing players left and right - SRSA/FCD Prem have their pick of players from what I hear. Would hate to see this one implode, they were always a wild card and had some great wins last Fall.

LP - Haven't heard of any mass exodus to this point, seems like LW is keeping this group together to this point.. Where are they playing their Winter ball? Playing in PT this weekend?

SRSA - Heard lots of girls at practice these days, over 30+ the past week or so and still coming in droves. Will be interesting how many 'others' will test the waters before Spring. This team could be getting even better.

Sting S = Sting G - AG takes the SS team and loses her 00 team to KM. So now is Sting G and will be in the PT tourney this weekend, how will this pan out?

Sting M - sure they are wishing some of the DTS players were at their camp, they need numbers in order to keep up with the Jones's. Should be in the Final against DTS, small roster works well with short 20 minute halves.

Sting W - great tourney last week, losing 2-1 to Rase it what sounded like a defensive battle and warding off the Rase offensive domination. RD has these girls playing great D, but goals win games - gotta score goals come Spring.


Lots of movement in the space, testing the waters and players here and there week in and week out. Historically this happens every year prior to QT. Come May, teams will implode because one or two players leave for a 'so-called better team'. Hold on folks this roller coaster is just getting started.

Do you know where from and if it dilutes any of the Top 10?

Obviously if LPD has picked up some players it is safe to assume they are of quality, not just for quantity reasons

Always interesting to see where these players originated from and how their potential movement affect their previous team.

FlyGirl tell us more...going to get more coffee and some bon-bons. This could be good.

DT-"South" - Lots of questions to be answered come select for this team and club. ---- Lots of Red out an about all across town. Will this be the same team come Spring? Playing in the DT Fall Festival this weekend, who is going to still be wearing Texan Red?

Cosmos - Star forward seen elsewhere, if this talent leaves the group, could spell trouble come Spring. Will see if she is around this weekend playing at Primetime and with whom? Good matchups with LP Dalglish and Solar Blue

FCD - Heard they couped a DTS player of great talent, is this true?

FCD-East - Haven't heard any exciting news from this camp on players coming in or out. Any updates from anyone?

Fever - Is this team even still together? Losing players left and right - SRSA/FCD Prem have their pick of players from what I hear. Would hate to see this one implode, they were always a wild card and had some great wins last Fall.

LP - Haven't heard of any mass exodus to this point, seems like LW is keeping this group together to this point.. Where are they playing their Winter ball? Playing in PT this weekend?

SRSA - Heard lots of girls at practice these days, over 30+ the past week or so and still coming in droves. Will be interesting how many 'others' will test the waters before Spring. This team could be getting even better.

Sting S = Sting G - AG takes the SS team and loses her 00 team to KM. So now is Sting G and will be in the PT tourney this weekend, how will this pan out?

Sting M - sure they are wishing some of the DTS players were at their camp, they need numbers in order to keep up with the Jones's. Should be in the Final against DTS, small roster works well with short 20 minute halves.

Sting W - great tourney last week, losing 2-1 to Rase it what sounded like a defensive battle and warding off the Rase offensive domination. RD has these girls playing great D, but goals win games - gotta score goals come Spring.


Lots of movement in the space, testing the waters and players here and there week in and week out. Historically this happens every year prior to QT. Come May, teams will implode because one or two players leave for a 'so-called better team'. Hold on folks this roller coaster is just getting started.

LPD picked up some quality players, it will be interesting what that team looks like this weekend.

Do you know where from and if it dilutes any of the Top 10?

Obviously if LPD has picked up some players it is safe to assume they are of quality, not just for quantity reasons

Always interesting to see where these players originated from and how their potential movement affect their previous team.

FlyGirl tell us more...going to get more coffee and some bon-bons. This could be good.

Sting W loses two top players to LPD and rumored DTS player(s) coming over?

DT-"South" - another excellent season for this talented team and coach. Lots of questions to be answered come select for this team and club. Does HN & the Texans Club work to make this team the marquee Dallas Texans Team of the age group? If so, who will coach? GA or RS or RM or other? Will the Dallas Texans consolidate other strong players towards this team within the club? Or does the club move the top core players from South to the Dallas side and work to make another top Dallas Texans team like years past come select? Whatever ever happens - I am sure HN will put his best '03 players players the club has in this age group to one team and the Texans Empire will be well represented come select! If not, HN could always get a top team from a rival and leave DT South alone?

Cosmos - as a small independent club from the economically challenged Park Cities area, TW has always beat the odds to place a LH D1 come select. Another up & down season for this team. Questions come select are simple; can they keep their core girls especially stud striker from being poached from their nemesis Sting? Or, can they poach players from the Sting factory of teams and complete roster with quality depth? Going to be fun to watch.

FCD - another solid season of play this fall with some great results! FCD will continue to try and poach what they can from their competitors and hope their top players hold and stay put. Lots of players playing for quite a few FCD teams in the age group to choose from to build "top" team come select. Who will be the coach? Will MGrubb coach this team come select or will the Diaz keep this ship and along with his ECNL teams? Hard to make games when you are out of town. Should be interesting.

FCD-East - like years past Coach JH will put together a very good team around a stud forward. It's going to be interesting to see which FCD team will be the better team come select. My bet is on East. For the club, its all good either way and FCD are in good shape going forward with ECNL to come.

Fever - another independent team from the Tarrant County area that had an up & down year, starting real strong and ending on a real low. Can this team keep their stud striker? Will they hold together at all come select. This team has a ton of questions regarding future than most, but hopes are they are still playing come select! Gave some teams a run for their money and were very competitive. One to keep an eye on come Spring, lots of variables here.

LP - the only big club that is NOT an ECNL member with tons of teams & players that currently has a very good top team. Lots of good questions to be answered come select? Does LW hand off top team to CPulp? Does this group combine all the top players from the other LP teams to form a LP super team? How will they respond to not being any ECNL member and keep elite players beyond first year of select. At the very least, for the first year of select, LP should have a top team .

SRSA - where do you start? Most dominant team by far over in the age group for sometime now! Where do they go from here? They will have a new coach coming this Spring with AS? Should we expect some "new" additions of other great players wanting to join before select? Most likely. Do they follow the Texans 02 from last year and only play boys next spring? With so many players and having a team that just played in Silver division can they put together another elite team that can actually compete with the top five in the age group in LH D1? If so, who will coach that one? No doubt this will be an elite team for years to come that will only get better and represent NT on the national stage as they get older. Going to be fun to watch.

Sting S & Sting M - with low roster numbers on both these teams now, do these two very good teams combine and become one? I know Out would like to see that! According to OUT, this will be "the top team" of the group? Still not convinced on that one. If so, who will be the coach this team come select? I am sure the powers of Sting are going to figure it out and Sting will be represented come select as one of the better teams to beat!

Sting W - will only continue to get better with their committed coach. Where do they add players from? Sting Dallas or from other Tarrant teams in the area? Most likely, other TC teams. By select RD will put together a solid D1 select team that will always be ready to play.

What other teams does everyone consider to be on the rise and ones to watch?

Couple of closing predictions that historically happens over the next 6/8 months before select ... Teams & coaches will actually change clubs, especially independents to one of the bigger ECNL clubs. Also, the top teams usually get EVEN stronger as "top" players from lesser teams want to play on top teams leaving 2 to 3 really dominant teams within the age group, while the rest will be very competitive amongst themselves. Good luck to all!!

Interesting rumor that I'm curious to hear more about. IMO, one of Fever's top player is the coach's daughter and she's been playing side-by-side with their other star player for years now. Has the rest of the team bailed on those 2? Did coach/daughter split up? Or should we expect to hear that SP is now coaching at Solar (wasn't he there 3 years ago?) or FCD?

I thought it was in the color of blue as in Sting...but could be wrong. Seems Sting with central locations seems to coupe the Park Cities players...Happened in the 00G Division - Cosmos went Sting Central Parker.
