Club Team Spotlight: Texas Glory 16U – Naudin Impresses at Tulsa Elite Invite

Friday night at the Tulsa Elite Invite saw Mother Nature flex her muscles as another storm knocked out many of the scheduled evening games, but one highlight was a battle of two key programs in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma this weekend–the Texas Glory and the Tulsa Elite.

Today, we focus on Ed Naudin‘s 16U team that is one of the best squads in the age division.

The Texas Glory organization is well-known across the nation and the 16U Naudin teams have consistently been nationally ranked in the Top 25.

Overall, the Texas Glory is mentoring over 1,200 athletes spanning 81 teams nationally playing in states such as Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

The Glory program, led by Kevin Shelton, has produced hundreds of players who have gone on to success at the next level in all divisions.

Here’s a closer look at one of the flagship teams…
