My youngest son starts UNT this Fall and he’ll be going out for their club team.
I haven’t been able to keep up with him since he was 10.
55 years old, bad knees, had back surgery and shoulder surgery this past year. I’m out of shape, unless you call round a shape. Well, it’s not that bad.
But if you get winded after 15 minutes or less, I wouldn’t recommend even a recreational league. Some of those guys are serious, younger, still in shape, and are sometimes dirty. And your age would fall in that category.
Instead, I would recommend the Co-Ed league. More people show up for each game and you don’t have to play as much if you can’t. The women are more competitive (usually former players and current coaches for Clubs) than the men. It’s fun.

I live way out in Flower Mound. That probably wouldn’t be a good drive for you to play pickup games. Here’s a great place to find pick ups:
Dallas Adult Soccer Community
It’s a Facebook group
But, if you’re interested in driving that far, we don’t do it on the regular. Usually at night when we can. I’ll let you know if you want, but I don’t know how to do that on here

WTF?
Ole Miss only played 8 games in 2010, 6 games in 2013 and 2013, 5 games in 2014, and 7 games in 2007?

I'll bet half the LSU fans on here hardly knew of Cyrus Allen.
I don’t know who he is but there are always elite WR’s in Louisiana. LSU can’t sign them all.
Heck, it’s impossible to scout some players, especially those that play for small schools, are overshadowed by other players, don’t have a QB that can get them the ball, don’t get on the camp circuit, or play in an offensive system that doesn’t pass.
And, as the recruiting board loves to point out, Jefferson was just a 2 star.

I always think of K’Lavon Chaisson. Ed Orgeron went to Houston and met with him at the 11th hour to get him to LSU. It was what really solidified him as an elite recruiter for me.
Also, Kevin Faulk. I don’t know if he was considering going anywhere else, but he was, more than anyone else, the catalyst for that brought LSU out of the fall into college football irrelevance. By staying in state he really stopped the bleeding of recruits going out of state. Kids started to see that they didn’t need to leave the state to be successful.
At least, until Saban became head coach at Alabama and took advantage of the relationships he cultivated while at LSU.

Just think: she’s wearing makeup in this pic.
If she’s only 31 and looking that rough, she will not age well.

I play mostly pickup games down the street with friends. I’m 55 so I can’t keep up with many of the younger guys.
I would check out TOCA and Soccer Spectrum for indoor leagues.
For Arlington, look at this link:

If you want to see others in the DFW, check out this link:
