Texans SC in Austin is led by Boys Director of Coaching Daryuosh Yazdani and Girls Director of Coaching JD Cochran.
"The Austin Texans are very excited about joining the Super Y league," Cochran said. "We will continue to place our players and teams in leagues where we believe they can be challenged and continue their individual development through playing against players and teams of similar ability."
Texans SC Austin joins Oklahoma FC, Liverpool-Texas, FC Wichita, TSC Hurricane, Lonestar Soccer Club and Texans SC in Houston as SYL-member clubs in the newly-created Mid South Division ahead of the 2017 season.
