SOCCERBUFF Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 So what was the hold up with the release?? Are there any changes at all? slight changes but in East Texas you had Van jump in with Tyler district and SH in with Longview area. I find it interesting, though (if indeed this is the official release), that the dates are not 2012-2014, but merely 2012-2013. Might there be something to that? I notice that also but if you look right below that is says the same thing for last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Can anyone confirm that Atlanta & Pittsburg have added a girls program? They show on the realignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTPride Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Also looking at these realignments they show both Commerce and Kemp in districts, both of which dropped to 2A, does this means 2a schools can be place in districts now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 2A can play up now. They passed that just recently. I guess Eustace didn't want to play in a district again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcats Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yes, 2A can play up now. They passed that just recently. I guess Eustace didn't want to play in a district again. The way it was presented 2 years ago was that 3A schools that dropped to 2A already in a district would be grandfathered in. I haven't read the new language of the rule but my guess is that the rule doesn't open soccer up to 2A schools across the board. Just those that had a program and dropped. The Eustace question is interesting because they were among a few schools that dropped before this took place that lost there program (district placement anyway). Under the new grandfather rule, I wonder if they were even allowed to come back since they weren't in UIL soccer the last 2 years. That would be terrible if that's why they aren't in. I hope it was a decision that came out of Eustace and not UIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOCCERBUFF Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 You are probably correct. When softball started they had 1A schools in the same district as 4A schools but when it comes to soccer NO WAY. If you were a 3A and dropped to 2A you can play but if you are a 2A (Tatum) you are screwed. Maybe one day soccer will get a little respect.

futfan Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Can anyone confirm that Atlanta & Pittsburg have added a girls program? They show on the realignment. New Revision out 4/20 shows the same info. Would be nice to have more than 4 in district. Six games is hardly a soccer season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parisian Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Perhaps some hope for Class 3A equity in soccer coming out of this week's meeting of the UIL Standing Committee on Policy: "Alton Frailey moved and Jerry Hunkapiller seconded the motion to monitor the current divisions in soccer and look at 3A options without increasing travel budgets. Motion passed unanimously." Don't know what it means for the long-term, but at least it's being discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
