Youth National Championships

Play is completing today for the National Championship in the age groups.  In a previous post I mentioned that D’Feeters were knocked out in the U14 division.

U15:
Dallas Texans 93 Red finished up yesterday [Saturday] winning the Championship in U15.  They won over So Cal Blues-dodge 2-1.

U16:
Dallas Texans Red 92 finished up this morning winning the Championship in U16.  They won over Eclipse Select 91-92 3-2.

U17:
Dallas Texans 91 Red finished up their final game in a tie and went to PK’s.  They were playing Eclipse Select 90-91.

U18:
Sting Dallas 90 lost to Colorado Rush Nike 0-3 to end their National Championship run.

So a big congrats goes out to the Dallas Texans club for winning at least 2 National Championships this weekend and possibly a third.

Soccer in my blood? Maybe mini soccer balls?

While I don’t watch every match every weekend, or go see the local professional team every game, that doesn’t mean I love soccer.  I grew up playing soccer with my dad coaching me almost my entire youth soccer career (I think 1 year I played on another team) and I have also accumulated about 15 years of coaching experience at all youth levels.

Now that I’m coaching once again after a year or two off, I have jumped back into or onto a competitive soccer team.  Yep I have probably written something about them before but we are a new team that has been training for almost the last year in preparation to move into the competitive leagues.  So naturally I’m now interested in following all of the competitive clubs in the area.  Now we are not a Lake Highlands team (Lake highlands is the premier competitive league in North Texas) so I don’t mind checking out how other teams do especially since they represent North Texas Youth Soccer.

So this week (started last night) is the Youth National Championships.  There are quite a few North Texas teams that have made it and are playing for the National Title in there age division.  So here are the current results up to this time.  Most of these teams have played 2 games already in there bracket:

U18:
Sting Dallas 90 - 2-0-0 (1st Place)

U17:
Dallas Texans 91 Red - 1-0-0 (1st Place)
** Play 2nd game tonight at 7pm**

U16:
Dallas Texans 92 Red - 1-0-1 (1st Place)
Sting Dallas Royal 92 - 0-1-1 (3rd Place)

U15:
Dallas Texans 93 Red - 0-0-2 (2nd Place)

U14:
D’Feeters 94 - 0-1-1 (3rd Place)

Good luck to the North Texas Teams..

I will update and post new scores when they come available.
