Given that their 'ranker' for this age group is no longer ranking them - they probably have some method to their madness. It's certainly better than when he kept ranking his son's team #1 despite losing tournaments or games (yes, he was a parent on our team). I'll always remember that.
NSR is slightly more credible than a random soccer dad you meet on an airplane who happens to have a son the same age as yours.

Whats to argue?? They have a team ranked that doesn't even exist, and hasn't for 2 years. Thats what I would call an embaressment. Hell next thing you know they may rank a club that doesn't exist. They need to cut back on the mota and at least make a credible effort at getting their facts straight.

I'm taking the bonehead who came up with these " Snipe hunting " next week. He's dying to find out if it tastes like chicken.

Solar ahead of SR??? and Andromeda(gentile) being ranked period??? politics at its best!!!!

It's not political - it's one guy - the only difference between the academy one-man-show rankings on this forum and this one is that the ranker probably hasn't seen most of the teams play. It's spelled out in the website - we worked with them to sponsor a national tournament so I'm familiar with how it's run. .

With extraordinary lack of effort.

So where is your bb's team listed????

The regional rankings are a crock as well. We just beat the 13th Ranked Region III team 2-1, and we did not do as well as we could have.

30th????

I think the guy has your Solar teams backwards!

The criteria says that league play doesn't count for as much as tourneys and strength of competition. I think State Cup counted which may explain part of the mystery.

This is the one college showcases use more respectable with system for rankings:

Go to rankings this is based on tournament and league play in last year. It is real time pretty much as long as everyone uses gotsoccer for tournaments which most do. In fact I would recommend never playing in a tournament that is not ranked by gotsoccer since your results will not show up in this system.

Agreed, but they do not rank U11.

hmmm...exact same record against the same competition. Gunners lost in the fall to SR. However, i bet if they played again it would be far more competitive. Gunners beat FCD in the state cup tourney. You have always trashed the Gunners and it makes me wonder why. Does it bother you a bit that a indy ended up tied with the great Solar Red in D1?

5: SOLAR 99B RED (PASSOS)		19		10		3		6		36		17		33
	6: TEXAS GUNNERS 99B (MADDOX)		19		10		3		6		31		18		33

I believe you are on to something......

Hookem, why aren't Gunners playing this weekend?

I am not sure really. Part of me wishes we were, and part of me is glad for the break. This is the 1st memorial day my family has had off in 4 years or so. Gives us time to BBQ, go to the lake, etc.

I think gunners could be primed for a few interesting pickups and slo-er red could be getting a few drops. I am picking the Gmen over red this next season. Useless ranking for the 99's are stupid but I agree with gmen ranked over red.

what no way are you drinking again???? SR is picking up quite a few new talented players to fill in their weaknesses and will make a run for the top spot!!!!!!

Yep, definitely been taking one too many swigs, Go99! I've always been impressed with SR and if they pick up a few more talented players, I don't see them slowing down.

I was always impressed with solar red also but the coach bailed on soccer as soon as they left academy. I don't know what the hell they are trying to do now (cough "kickball"). Wheels fell of that wagon last season. Maybe he can get it together but being out in the soccer boonies sure isn't gonna help him get players. Gunners however are a D1 team with multi sport athletes. There has to be a few good players feeling the pinch of having to chose who would like to keep playing in D1. Gunners is not for me but I like what they are doing. Solar red, you broke my heart last season. sniff! sniff!

Alright, Go, you do give an honest opinion. Don't most club coaches "give up" from academy to select? What about the term "hand off", or in soccer terms "finish" academy.

Well solar used to play a very good game for academy soccer. Plenty of ball movement and creativity. Same coach took them into select and decided to start kicking the ball up to a single forward. They have a nice group of players but frankly lack the pure athletes it takes to kick and run.

Warning: Single forward = not 1st.
