Congratulations to all teams in Vegas to represent NTX the past weekend. It was really impressive.

However as a parent, I'd like to ask why NTX teams seems not continue their domination into older ages, such as U14, U15, U16 and U17, which are very important college recruit.

Really appreciate for any suggestion, need some serious inputs so I can guide my dd over the next few years.

Congratulations to above teams again.

Thanks for laying out so we can see how all teams did.  Well done NTX!

I wouldn't assume NTX teams just stop competing well. I think if you look at the ECNL results, NTX continues its strong showings in the older age groups. But, as for Vegas Cup, the older girls are right in the middle of high school soccer.  There were far fewer older teams that even made the trip. And, if you look at the actual results, they were almost all very competitive games.

That is why I am no longer competitive as well....dang you flour!

It appears the pre tournament favorites dts south 05 and sting black 06 got knocked out in semis. Is it one off day for the Goliaths or is everyone catching them up with other soccer aspects other than athleticism. Any commentary.

Only speaking to the 05's, that kicks 05 selecao team is pretty darn solid. Going to/winning PK's against the DTS05 team is to be expected. I don't think there is a whole lot of distance between the very top teams in the 05 age group. Kicks aren't in JDL to see these teams regularly, but make no mistake, they are just as good. Which is why when I heard they wouldn't be allowed in JDL, due to branding, I was a bit disappointed.

They have created a partnership with DFeeters. Why don't they just throw on the green and join the league.

That selecao team is more than solid. They just aren't as big and athletic as DTS. They play great soccer.

I don't really know. Maybe it is because JDL teams can not play in the State Cup.

I believe you can register us soccer and USYSA.

Zizou wrote:I believe you can register us soccer and USYSA.

^ correct.

It would appear the team is doing just fine w/o JDL.
What would be the benefit?

I don't think the team doing just fine or not was in question.

What would be the point of joining the league then?

So you could play DTS, FCD Red, etc. teams more often and the Pre-ECNL events.

FCD should just play LH.

Why, they want to play at the highest level offered on a regular basis. But yeah who would want to play the top talent in the division on a regular basis. LHGCL is perfect for your team.

:cheers

Because they can't limit competition in lh. The sheep don't understand....they've been sold on jdl.

Isn't JDL run by LHGCL?

Zizou wrote:Isn't JDL run by LHGCL?

No the JDL is run by the big 4 so they can make their own rules up.

Sorry, I really don't think they care. Baaaaaa.

Zizou wrote:Isn't JDL run by LHGCL?

That would be a great point if it made any sense or had any thing to do with this discussion.
