Why is Primetime discriminating?

They have refused numerous girl's teams entry into the boy's leagues. There is a long tradition of top girl's teams playing vs boys. A few of these teams played boys as recently as this Fall.

What gives?

What teams were refused? Looks like there is a girls team in the u11 boys division.

Solar 07s and Kicks 07 were denied playing w U10 boys. Rumor has it a few 07 boys coaches are afraid of getting beat by girls so they threatened to switch leagues.

Funny..

Same Bat-time, Same Bat-channel!

I had to reminisce a bit..

I once called a DOC, got the number from the website, and he made it right. It was actually just a manager with a son on the team.

I love that girls parents, which I am one, love to beat boys teams. When they lose, "oh well we are in a boys division." When they win, "WE BEAT THE BOYS"..... see who gets the short end of the stick in both scenario's?

Girls can always play up in higher age groups, not sure why they love playing in the boys leagues.

Has nothing to do with beating boys teams. Has everything to do with speed of play. And thanks to NTX, playing up at U10 is not a great option.

Actually, the ban only applies to girls from 7 clubs. The DOC's of those 7 clubs are arguing that none of their teams has ever been responsible for defeating a boys team in the past decade, however, the president of Primetime is pointing to recent instances of girls teams in France and Germany beating boys teams in defense of his ruling.

The Primetime league director sent an e-mail last night stating that she would not support the directive of the President, and would allow girls teams to play boys, but she was promptly fired last night and replaced by a temp worker who states that he will abide by the Primetime President's orders.

Unfortunately, none of the 7 clubs in question maintain records, registrations, or birth certificates verifying the girls ages.

Girls from a couple of those clubs were seen driving to Michael Brown, and the Primetime President wants to make sure that the girls have proper paperwork.  The prior Primetime league director did confirm that there had been an inability to confirm proper documentation in the past, and that it is possible the over-age girls had been allowed to play.

Primetime has since begun construction of a wall around the boys league to keep girls from playing.

The new primetime director doesn't make these decisions. Her strings are pulled by her leninist, anti-soccer confidante. Expect the reign of the primetime president, and her confidante, will be brief.

I do believe that once the boys teams started threatening to pull out of the league due to playing girls teams. The league management chose to keep those boys team over letting girls teams in a boys league. We all know that the girls will develope much faster than the boys. Once the boys develop you don't see girls teams demanding to be in their leagues.

Because it is the right thing to do. You can go back and look at any of the girls teams that play against boys and they typically get slaughtered by the best 5 or 6 boys teams. It is absolutely a "lose-lose" for the boys and contrary to some of the girls coaches and parents, not good for their overall development.

Also, I don't want to hear about not having the option to play up the last year before select. The boys teams don't have that option either and if you are far and away the best boys team in an age group, you just have to deal with it at U10.

If you are talking about age groups below U10, simply play up against the older girls, they will give all the competition you need.

Agreed. The boys are smaller and usually slower and less physical. Speed of play is not faster. The girls are playing down trying to get in boys league at the really young ages. Savvy boys coaches should be trying to get into top girls leagues.

These top teams should just play each other every weekend. I know this won't happen/ can't happen, for reasons I'm not smart enough to understand.

That's why there is the "08 Super Secret" league that is "better than JDL" and the creation of a mastermind team manager

Nothing is better than JDL. Not even JDL is as good as JDL.

Right thing?  That your opinion(and/or one of your coaches).  I see both girl teams took out top 10ish boy opponents in the fall. So both seem up for the task.

Kind of ironic a Solar Coach, helped keep the Solar Colvin/Springate team out. That's club team work!      

There is literally nothing stopping a boys or girls team from playing up into U11 or U12 for that matter in any non NTX sanction league... Primetime is one of them. You want faster speed of play, harder tackles, bigger hits... MOVE ON UP!

They will play up some.  But Solar 07 just thrashed very good 06 teams in the Woodlands.  http://texasrush.bonzidev.com/sam/standings/ss/schedule.php?containerID=Mjg3NDIyMA==

I highly doubt the 06 teams in PT (who aren't in LH, Plano or Arlington) would provide them and Kicks with real competition.  Heck, Solar and Kicks might be better off just playing a handful of the 07 top division teams instead.

No offense to the STX teams or solar, but Solar 07 was not playing the top 06 squads from STX.

Agreed, but I'm pretty confident those that they played are similar to those in the U11 PT league.

I would disagree there. STX is behind NTX at these younger ages, significantly for the most part. We have 08 teams that would have faired well against those same 06 STX teams that solar 07 played.

Good point stx and other regions tend to pass by ntx at the older ages when skill and soccer iq take over.
