As you are the curious parent who dabbles in and out of BOTC , there are others like you who do as well from your team. You may have a common sense attitude and be a utmost realistic parent as well on the sideline about your sons team. BUT the guy standing next to you double fisting solo cups in between games under the tent could be total opposite on your thoughts and could be the one boasting the greatness of one or two players shy of world series status. Every parent has a different mentality , so please as you may make sense the other guy could be the ranting and raving parent on here . Every team has that select unrealstic parent who as the previous poster says drools at the mouth like his or hers kids coach about this is the year its gonna happen. Its been said year in year out about this particular team on here around this time. And it's always new players were added this year .. Seems irrelevant after awhile .

Stop with the boasting your a solid B+ team and leave it at that. Ambush never plays top teams , always playing no name programs or weak teams from good programs.. Who really cares other then a few parents about having a label that your son plays on "a". Colleges do not care ! Its at the point how your son performs on the field individually . Let go of the PAL mentality !

Agree its the fall, also one can not go on last years teams. All teams had tryouts and some kids were cut and some were added. Was it a good start for Ambush, yes. Do they have to keep working at it. Yes as well. Out of Igloo Avalanche, Outlaws, etc, they are the best thus far. Yet to say that is pre mature as well. Let the talkers always talk and let the teams do what they do, which is practice and try hard
There are new players on the team, and we have had one tournament. Until we play Avalanche and Express, we won't know where we are. A-, B+, who cares. Let's see how they did by the end of the summer. My kid is having fun, the coach never whispered anything in my ear about being a AA team. He wants to win, and wants to play in good tournaments, with good competition. None of the Ambush parents are boasting about anything. We all know our boys aren't on an elite team, and we enjoy the team. Have a good winter, and we can talk in the Spring.
