The 06' division has not yet come together in a league format to sort out
The division. So the answer to your question is, "I do not know".

I think the other teams did a good job and have a lot of promise!

I would say with a 10-0 championship game, probably not.
It looks like SDL has the most 06 teams, so maybe the division will sorting out.

Congrats to the Texans!

What happened to Texans playing u8? I thought I read that somewhere.

You read correct. Texan Torres 06G is reluctantly playing spring season in Primetime
u8 silver or gold, which one is still TBD.

You won't regret it. You have nothing to prove playing Primetime U7. Parents can stay awake during games.

Playing up will allow girls to be more challenged. The Grapevine fields are good but the Grand Prairie fields are way too big. I would play in the Gold Division. You have the speed to play with them.

As far as competition, it will hook up by U10. Top teams usually play up. There is plenty of time but let the kids enjoy it with no pressure. Kicks has the philosophy of playing up or playing against boys or with boys. Boys can make you learn to play under pressure and use your skills because you can't fly by them!

Torres can establish a name in the soccer ranks if he can have top teams for his 05 and 07's also. His 06's are already there.

By the way, saw the Dallas Texans new academy uniform. Those are pretty nice. The black looked pretty good. Do they still use the red to go along with the white or is the black a new alternate uniform for the club?

Middleclass,

Thanks for the perspective! It was really insightful and is substantiated
b/c the Kicks 06' are the real deal!! I think the Torres parent group
Initially was trying to ensure playing up was the best option. The belief
Was grounded in playing up as a necessity and not anything else. The
Team had some good success playing 05s in 3v3 in Jan. So,
I think that experience, picking up 3 06 players that had been playing
05, and the unfortunate reality of the 06 division not coming together
Made it a necessity. The team tried 06 boys first boys but was told
No by PT...I don't understand that one.

Oh well! Good look with the spring and thanks again for the
Perspective! Hope u r right!! ;-)

Sorry forgot to answer the uniform question. To my knowledge, The Torres 06G
Is the only team that will have the black uniform as it is a carry over
From 3v3.

Agreed, DT Torres can definitely compete and do well in PT u8 Gold. The GP fields are definitely too large for 7v7 at this age. Lots of field to cover. Not at all impressed with the Keller fields either, but at least they're the right size. And I agree those uni's are NICE!!

I know a few little girls who would not be happy w/ you for this statement!
I won't tell them you said it though.

Heard their team is looking good. Have seen them play once. Congrats
