I can’t see them dropping TSC over a single bad season. There’s so much that goes into it.
It would have to be due to Barry / coach retention / something else.
Going to revise (or clarify) my announcement statement. ECNL doesn’t typically announce demotions. I’m assuming WSA receives the NL which defacto eliminates TSC from NL. If ECNL decides not to have an NL team in Tulsa next year the info will have to leak out.
Until NL is awarded to another Tulsa area club nothing is set in stone.
Agree, it takes a number of factors to pull NL from a club. Last time it occurred in Oklahoma was Celtic.
My guess would be that ECNL needed to offer OEFC an NL spot in order to entice them to leave DA/GA. That NL spot just happened to be Celtics
Losing NL on the girls side creates a problematic business model for TSC as the girls side subsidizes boys NL.
I disagree. I actually think TSC's response to ECNL if they pull ECNL will be better for TSC and the Club. No Tulsa team can finish in the top 4 in the Texas league. Parents are tired of getting killed. If TSC was in almost any other league they would be successful. WSA will fail miserably in NL.
Current TSC is TSC because of ECNL, all the problems they have had with coach and player departures will only grow if they lose ECNL.
100% disagree. TSC has been the top club in the Tulsa area solely because they had NL. Without NL they are Blitz with a hated owner who no one wants to work with or play for. Top 4 in NL is irrelevant as top 6 go to nationals. Top 6 and nationals is always the goal. If the Tulsa area club can keep the areas top girls at home, they should be able to field a couple of teams a year in contention for a top 6 spot. Coaching retention and quality will also be vital for success as will a club wide approach to training and tactics. TSC has failed miserably on the girls side in these areas for years.
I was told TSC keeps NL on the boys side with a 12-24 month probationary period. If they do lose the girls I hope they at least keep the boys. The boys side hasn’t been bad
My assumption is that if TSC loses ECNL the club that gets it will have to play their Games at Scheels or Mohawk.
To be fair, TSC played their NL games at Mohawk for years. Fields went downhill the last couple of years they were out there. TSC also trained on the gravel and gopher fields at old Titan for years. Scheels has been a blessing for Tulsa area soccer. I have not been told that WSA is getting NL but if they do I assume they will find decent fields. They have advocated for NL for years. I have a hard time believing they will not do everything they can to find NL quality fields.
