I’ve heard that TSC ECNL boys will be moved over to FC Tulsa soon. I’m not sure how that works honestly, but I’m assuming a merger of the clubs.
I’m also expecting TSC to announce GA. Not sure what the holdup is there. Maybe trying to find a travel partner. Dallas Surf just announce the move to GA from ECRL-North Texas Regional League. Which illustrates the level of teams playing in the regional GA league
They will try to sell it for sure. It’s just a bad product in this part of the country.
TSC getting GA makes no sense, I can’t see a world where their top NL players stay and they will for sure lose RL on the boys side now. As it stands right now WSA has the best RL product on this side of the state playing in the Texas league.
I think it is hilarious that barry’s 2 million is about to be lit on fire. Well played sir.
On the camps, if your daughter has an idea of where she might want to go to school or what she wants to study, find camps where those coaches will be at. My son was very specific on what he wanted to study and told some smaller NAIA schools he wasn't interested because they didn't have the major he wanted. He ID'd the schools, contacted the coaches and we made a couple visits to those schools and met with the coaches while visiting. He wasn't a D1 prospect so him ID'ing schools was easier. Unfortunately the schools he wanted to attend have ultra selective admissions processes so the coaches don't have much pull.
I don't know how the new roster limits affect this process. Coaches will for sure be more selective and can't just tell every player, there's a roster spot for you as a walk on anymore.
Went to a training with WSA today.
Hate to say this, but: way diff feel than TSC. The difference in coaching experience was incredibly apparent. That’s not a knock to our other coach, who my daughter really liked. It was just a different feel.

My daughter is a 2011 so she honestly has no idea what she wants to study. Only thing she knows, and this may change, is that she wants to play D1 soccer.
In this case, yes.
The coach asked for speed and improvement while heaping praise on the girls for giving it. “Faster.” “You have to get a better touch. Go again.”
It really makes me optimistic.
And again, I think it’s just a difference in coaching experience.
I personally think the new teams coming into NL need that experienced coach that sets the tone. Someone that’s been at that level for a bit, or higher, and will teach them how to compete.

Preston is a really good coach. I did a game with one of his teams during their showcase a few weeks back and I gave a PK against them for impeding with contact. A bit weak but the defender came over and just crushed the attacker and they were 5-6 yards from the ball...so there was no attempt to play or no reasonable effort to play the ball. She also caught the attacker with a high elbow to the chin when she came through her. He was upset about the call and when I came over and explained what I saw, he settled down. But I always pay attention to how the coaches coach their players during games and he seems to be one of the better ones. I've come across coaches who lose their minds and then belittle and degrade players when they make mistakes...completely unconstructive and it does no one any good (Dave Bolding at Owasso, formerly of Bixby is this type of coach). Preston, at least with my limited interactions during his games, seems to understand how to get players to play the way they're coached in practice.
He seemed to be pretty good. Everyone I’ve spoken to has nothing but good things to say about him.
He likes to play that possession / find the next pass style. I like that.
The girls were friendly enough with my kid. She did great in the drills and small sided games. She needs to get used to his personality, which he admitted can make it hard to be around, but other than that it was good.
My general perception has been coaches at TSC weren’t as demanding especially in practice as coaches in other clubs. I experienced very little stern talk from coaches at trainings….play faster, better touch, better movement, better passes, etc… This could be viewed as a positive or negative depending on the player.
