We will develop our kids, believe that, if we can win your ECNL Tx div in one age group with less than a 1/10 of your metro's population then that shows true development, You guys should dominate, we look forward to beating you! Very Happy

Anytime, My DD appreciated the opportunity to play and to get to know your DD. Good times!

If you leave the kids and soccer out of it. Oklahoma is still kind of a hole that needs to be paved. Can everyone agree on that at least?

4-3-3, takes a big man to admit any flaw in our precious ego so I applaud you.

No, Oklahoma has some beautiful natural scenery just like TX does.

Well now thats cleared up! A person that thinks he knows OK soccer from TX, great just like he was rating Cali teams, i'm from San Diego! LOL maybe i should just make up observations about N TX teams I know nothing about to place it in the ether. Either way he knows nothing about these clubs other than his so callled OBSERVATIONS and JUDGEMENTS! The good old folks at The ECNL and USSF must not have realized they need the input on who to place in their own leagues. Stick to what ya know!

First off let me apologize if I came off as trying to tear down TSC. Wasn't my intent. Really was just making a point I didn't think TSC not being included was a negative for DA in this region.
Admittedly, I'm just a ntx parent, have absolutely zero inside knowledge of USSF's club selection process, and know nothing about TSC's financials, coach credentials, or past national team history. I've watched two age groups play multiple times - 00s and 01s.

Been very impressed with what OFC has put on the field over the years, and likewise, other than a very solid academy team that used to travel to NTX back at u10/u11, what I've seen from tulsa at those age groups wasn't really close. Clearly drawing conclusions based on a limited perspective is flawed. Acknowledged. We all want the best for our kids, so no personal disrespect towards players or families (or the state) was intended.

I love it when my suppositions are confirmed! Your daughter(s) played against the 00's and the 01's...No wonder you have a low opinion of TSC! The 00's have been screwed up for years. Don't know much about the 01's 'cept they're in last in ECNL Texas League. Don't blame you for your opinions...on the other side of the coin, I now know why you have such a high opinion of OFC...their 00's are VERY good and their 01's are EVEN BETTER. But on both ends, a bit of anomaly as far as the clubs go...Good luck to all and look forward to ECNL play and hopefully DA play against all your excellent teams in the coming years!

PS Anyone know if OFC 01's still have that idiot in the pork pie hat that yells "Money" right next to your goalie when his daughter (I think it's his daughter) shoots on goal? On BOTH ends of the field (poor etiquette, but some people have little to no class...)

Zizou - appreciate the support brother.

Sting and Texans were added to DA

Disappointed that it's not more exclusive. Hopefully the 50/50 split of older and younger players is enforced.

Also, will Tulsa be giving out DA scholarships to Texas athletes? Isn't that the Oklahoma way?

Last I looked Sho' Nuff', Leroy Greene, had left you on the floor! LOL Very Happy

The Last Dragon is an awesome movie!

These numbers say all that needs to. With these population numbers you should dominate all sports so why do OU, OSU pick up TX leftovers and wipe TX schools clock with them. Development!!!

Sorry Sho' Nuff' that you feel TSCH is diluting and weaking the DA but maybe this will make you feel better in knowing we are improving.

LOL, I'm from Cali and I don't think your living in the same realm. Between Surf and this years ECNL club champs, Slammers with 2 national champions Cali is still the dominant region which is why they recieved <7 teams! I think TX has great soccer but belittling the clubs in your own League seems foolish. We all want our TX ECNL league teams to dominate! We wish you all well.

I don't care enough about Clubs to belittle yours or any others.

My first sentence was referring to the four NTX DA spots only; I was hoping for less with no cares given to which Clubs were included.

U-14 team strong physical, but struggled the second part of the season as others started to gel.

by go99 11/07/16, 10:48 am

okay you should all keep yourselves out of the DA and stay in ECNL. The DA is a developmental league and all you guys can talk about is the "rankings" The only question is can those clubs develop girls. One of the points of the league is less games and more practice with the ability to focus on developing talent rather than the focus on winning. Saw it happen with boys when the DA came in wrong parental mentality corrupting the idea itself.

Would be nice to see OKC in the girls DA. Could be coming to both girls and boys with a rumored partnership with energy FC and their MLS push.
But more regional teams cut down on travel cost which is a good thing not a bad one. And as far as diluting goes that only applies to parental egos (oh look at me my kid is in an elite league) Development is about not missing out on talent not exclusivity and restricting. completely ignoring a metroplex the size of OKC area is not a good thing

by Zizou 11/07/16, 10:49 am

My idea of development is to move all your teams consistently within the top five. U-17's have set the bar. It's time to run with their success across all levels.

by TulsaFootballDad 11/07/16, 10:52 am

Zizou, areas of concern are very true, like I stated we have a smaller population density here in OK. We may be last in some age leagues, but in others N TX teams are behind. We have several Clubs that are uniting as they are in N TX and kids moving from other clubs for ECNL and now DA in the future. We are still a work in progress. That team that won ECNL league has a player going to England with the U18 national team. They also lost by goal differential of 1 to make the finals. Slammers took that division and won the National Chamionship. So things aren't perfect but we are a smaller Club than those in N TX and working to improve. Those are the things that should be measured.

Whole heartedly agree! That is why we @ TSCH have to play N TX teams to improve, there are only so many teams we can play in state to offer competition. With the JR ECNL league coming into effect hopefully in the Spring of 17 this should help in the transition to full ECNL league play.

by Zizou 11/07/16, 11:01 am

We are smaller clubs and less population than Cali. Everyone has hurdles they must overcome. The word for the day should be consistency. NTX has its own problems with consistency at certain levels. Consolidation of players is the key, but with that said be careful what you wish for our DD's could be the ones looking in from the outside.

Okay well your idea is wrong. Get big, fast girls kick the ball hard, be aggressive and maybe add a special player up top and all of your teams will experience success. Winning and development are not the same thing.

Now somebody tell me TSC is terrible at developing talent. That their teams play a horrible style of play. Tell me OKC is way better at it. Give me something. But if ALL you have is "look all of their teams don't win" BTW a DA spot will bring in talent which should cure some of your concerns. Players are migratory they will go where their needs are met. To some degree so are coaches. Organization, infrastructure are the hardest things to transfer.

by Gunners 11/07/16, 11:05 am

Four NTX DA clubs, huh..

Proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is, and always was, about the money for USSF. An argument could be made that three clubs is too many, but four clubs is ridiculous.
