Who is charge of that FC Dallas "Predator"? Which team are you talking about? same question for DT North? Anybody?

Might be talking about FCD Predator- Waters and DT Badii. Lopez used to be the coach but passes the team down to their select coach.

In no particular order 11-20

Solar Chelsea Castro (b team)

LP RASE
LP Woodberry

LFC St John, DT Lopez and Connell, and the middle of the pack FCD Pritchett and Lopez could be higher based on recent results and potential adds to the rosters.

several teams could say that Karate with others losing players causing them to be much lower. I also see several teams missing from that list that I would consider above some of the teams listed in the "top 30".

so much will change over the next 6 weeks if you listen to the rumors and look at the players showing up at other teams practices already.

Very fair pick of the Top 30. I agree some teams can move up or down with new adds and other loosing players.

Agreed. The Top 8 or 9 teams are fairly easy to predict. The 03 Boys are very top heavy with a fair drop off after those teams. The next 30 - 40 teams are actually really close. A few players going from one team to another will shift things considerably.

My top 10 picks for D1, in order, as of today:

1. Solar Castro
2. Odyssey
3. FC Dallas Premier
4. Dallas Texans Nipper
5. Solar Chelsea Gold
6. Texas Lightning
7. TFC Trevino
8. Dallas Texans South
9. Solar Chelsea Castro
10. FC Dallas Pritchett

Based on the teams that played in the PrimeTime league this Spring, that might be a good place to start ranking the top 10.

I do believe were talking 03 Boys teams...(Not that Solca wouldn't be up there in top 10 - 20 of the boys teams)
And I don't think winning 1 game in your league qualifies you for a top 10 discussion?

The girls team can definitely play and would be a top ten ranked team here and I do agree with the 1 loss teams comment. The Liverpool v FCDP game was never played and ruled a forfeit with the win going to LP which means that they would have most likely scored no points.

IMO while there are teams outside this TBPL league that might have fared better than Andro/RASE, there are a lot with D1 aspirations who would have done worse. Including getting pantsed by the girl's team.

We'll see how it goes.

I would suggest that rather than worry about what team is the best right now, worry about making sure your bb is on the right team to suit his needs and to give the best probabilty to be playing at a high level down the road while remaining passionate about it all. It's a long race, pace yourselves.

Great point AXX. Last I heard Nipper only had 12 boys at the moment and hear rumors about the Odyssey kids heading all over the place. I have been around youth soccer about 15 years now as a father and I feel my son is with the best coach I have ever been around at any level. He demands respect but rarely will you hear him say anything demeaning about a player. He will be honest with his assessment but he does not have to yell all the time to get results. There is a reason he won multiple championships as a player and multiple national championships in Central America. My son has been out and played with many teams on this list and could probably start for many of them, but this coach gets the most out of him and that is what I wanted. Many o fteh boys on the current roster actually seem to look forward to practices than they do the games because they get more instruction then. I want a coach that seems to enjoy what he is doing and enjoys developing his team.

I wonder how many teams start out in D1 at U11 and are still there at U15? Those that are there at U15 what percentage of that roster were with the same team at U11?

What does everyone else look for in their coach/team?

Save for an independent or two, none of these teams will be together more than 2 years before the PreAcademy/Academy sucks the best kids in and leaves their former top team much less able. Axx had it right... find a team where your bb is challenged and develops and worry about the league standings when they get to high schools.
