Seems like they are trying to plug multiple holes on weaker teams before kids, parents, high schools, and colleges realize their talent pool is significantly damaged from the good old days.

All three of those girls start on the SW 28s and are key contributors. At least two of them would start on any 29 team in Maryland.

This has been SWs model for many years. Playing up against better completion is massive for development

That's actually a terrible model. Build a strong program at their own age level. Playing up isn't better for development, including social development.

So there are three 2029s starting on the SW 2028? I’m sure those 2028 parents just love that. This playing up stuff should be over before middle school for reasons stated above.

This isn't even true. The PP who said the "defector" left because she got pulled down while the other girls stayed on 2028 is making stuff up (shocking). There are currently 2 girls on the 2029 roster who last year were on 2028 blue. The third one would have been the girl who left.
