I see your point. I understand DT Mansfield being in it since it was a Texans Tournament, I doubt they would turn away their own teams. But who was on the waiting list that would have been better?

Some observations:

1. Shame on whomever for not having Kicks Selecao in this. And some more teams from outside the region/country for that matter. Sorry, but Sting West and DT Mansfield had no business in this. There should have been at least 4 Groups for this age division.
1. Wear and tear and thin roster for kicks could have kept them out. Smart move after a long season . They are short a big defender and a midfielder. These girls ball and are athletic but are not my favorite to beat DTS yet .

2. DTS easily the best athletes. Fun to watch. More beatable than I thought though. They do leave themselves vulnerable every so often but not every team exploits their oppty's. Solar Pulp had several today but could not convert.
2. DTS is benchmark in 05s. Kicks, Colvin and FC D red have potential to upset them with the right training and potential player or coach movements in the future.

3. If you were to combine best talent from the Solars, things would get very interesting in the race for NTX supremacy.
3. Why combine so early. Groom them all and see which ones want it more. One word : Talented

4. FCD Red did not bring their A game this weekend. Showed signs of wear and tear. Still like this team very much and think you will see them continue to compete.
4. Team lacks aggression except for couple of players and they play boring defensive 4-3-3. Rumors are there possible coaching change coming fall and have potential. Watched them several times, couple of players play like they don't want to play this beautiful game.

5. LPE is solid and not lacking in any area as far as I saw. As physical as any team I watched. Not sure they have depth though beyond their starters.
5. If they don't get ECNLed , we won't see them here next year.

6. Sting Higgierrez ... they will be the biggest wildcard for next season. Some inconsistent flashes of brilliance coupled with some really dubious style of play leads me to believe they have what it takes, but whoever takes over this team next year will really have their work cut out for them to coalesce this group.
6. Could be a good physical team. The parents are nuts. AG will put in a solid team next season

7. RE the Refs. I gotta say, the games I saw were either officiated by some of the best in the business while other games the exact opposite. No in between. Perplexing.
7. Leave them alone

Congrats to all teams and glad to hear of no significant injuries other than one LPE player's broken collar bone. Here's to a quick recovery! And here's to '05G showcasing some great talent and showing soccer NTX is still very much relevant for this age year.

FCD red is a head scratcher for me. After wining the Vegas tournament, they don't even make it out of pool play in this one and get beat by a mid-level LH team. Was LV a fluke or are other teams developing at a faster clip?

by NTX06Soccer 17/04/17, 08:49 am

Or option 3, FCD Red just had an "off" tournament this weekend....

by Zizou 17/04/17, 09:23 am

Holiday weekend might have some players sitting out or a reduced roster.

by Zizou 17/04/17, 09:25 am

I know when. We twice made the finals of the digc the wife was mighty upset Soccer was played Sunday morning. Just saying.

I would go with that. Better team than they showed this weekend.

Who is this Colvin team that they say can score 15 on DTS05 did they not see who just won this BIG SOCCER TOURNAMENT this weekend at the D.I.G.C 2017 DTS05 took care of business

its a reason people dont talk much about DTS in any age group and thats because its about as direct as their soccer style. They win. Simple as that. You may get some chatter after they lose but outside of those lines there is nothing to be said. DTS05 probably could beat the 04 squad in a straight up match. No guests No ECNL girls. With ECNL girls I'd predict a tie. And with that being said GA will have him an '04 state cup trophy one way or another.

Just to clarify here Angelina ...

You're saying that 05 DTS would draw with 03 DT ECNL?

No....05 DTS would draw with "the future" 04 DT ECNL plus 2 of the "03 DT ECNL" players....

That 03 ECNL is pretty tough.

by Big Ern 19/04/17, 03:57 pm

That is certainly reasonable Angelina --

Guessing that maybe yours or Cam's kid plays for 05 DTS ... If so, do you think they will all stay together given the option now to participate in the ECNL or USSDA at U13 next year?

by DIDI ALLDAY 19/04/17, 04:07 pm

No my kid doesn't play for the DTS05 but looking at their rankings why would they split up if they are the 1 team in Texas #15 in national maybe they should just build a bench up stronger

by AngelinaGoalee 19/04/17, 04:13 pm

Stay together and do what? Rule LHGCL? Dominate JDL? They may come together and guest play for GA as his 04 and 03 do now through dual rostering but the smarter more ambitious parents will seek higher level of play and training through those ECNL and DA opportunity. My DD don't play for DTS but word of advice Cam.... don't get caught up in gotsoccer rankings and miss out. You missed all that hoopla during the academy and early select years. Whole new ball game now sir.

by DIDI ALLDAY 19/04/17, 04:41 pm

No my daughter is in the Primetime League U7 is there something wrong guess playing up I don't think if the players is that good and can hang with the 03"and 04"why not I mean if you guys are doing the right tournament you will see a bunch of good competition LHGCL can before good touches and just do your good tournaments

by AngelinaGoalee 19/04/17, 05:07 pm

Cam they can look at your stats on the forum in case you didn't know....they know your affiliation. You don't have to be that discrete because it's sort of too late. Don't worry, you'll encounter a lot of trolling and opinions but you right by being prideful and what not.

They already have like 100 DDs on that bench.

by DIDI ALLDAY 19/04/17, 05:43 pm

That good that you can don't make me none...
but if the o5 player can play up that a good thinking that just means that the 05 player is that good

Is DA for U13 confirmed?

Ummm ... Holy. Lord.

I do feel ya though Cam -- great players should play up ... most do. However; There will be no "right tournament", nor will there be "good competition LHGCL" for 03s or 04s (and 05s for that matter) next year. Most of the players at the top level (including the majority of those from the 05 DTS side) will all be USSDA or ECNL within the next few months.

timmyh --

Yes. But rather than the Frontier Conference for U14+, it will be a Texas Conference only for the U13s ... much less commitment with less travel and only 3 required training days per week.

by ColtMcVince 20/04/17, 08:58 am

So for u13 next year it's DA, ECNL, JDL, and LH?

Didn't I read somewhere that a club can't be both DA and ECNL, they have to do one or the other,

by Big Ern 20/04/17, 09:06 am

That looks accurate ColtMcV --

The USSDA likely isn't happy with their new clubs that want to keep the ECNL distinction for the time being ... And the ECNL surely doesn't like that some of their clubs have decided to go the USSDA direction as well, but there has yet be any mandate which restricts having both to this point.

I suppose that it is entirely possible that you read that somewhere and that that is how it is being dictated to Clubs/Teams. However, the USSF bylaws say different.

USSF Bylaw 603 - Section 2. An Organization Member (other than a Professional League) shall not discriminate against the participation of players, teams, coaches or clubs on the basis of that player, coach, team, or club’s membership in, or affiliation with, another organization. The Federation encourages its Organization Members to allow teams of all other Members to participate in tournaments sponsored by them or any of its organization members when the teams otherwise.

They encourage participation.........except for when they get really busy discouraging participation.
