Looking at MD Clubs, top to bottom HS down to 2032s, I would say its pretty clearly
1) M&D 2) Hero's 3) MD United
I don't think its even an argument. Can't have SW there with their performance at the Pre-HS levels. Can't have Coppermine there with their HS, lack of recruiting. Obviously things are constantly changing, but that's what I view it at this moment. 4-6 I think Coppermine, SW right there.
I think it is a tossup between MDU and SW but to your point, there is a massive gap between 2 and 3.
Comparing at .
24: SW 25: SW 26: SW 27: MDU 28: MDU, but SW just beat M&D 29: MDU 30: MDU
I think there is zero value in even rating 31s and 32s. Even on the "best" teams half the girls can't catch and 80% can't cradle.
The fact that SW puts zero effort in their 3rd and 4th grade teams is probably hurting them at the youth level. Historically top girls would jump to SW in 6th or 7th grade but that isn't happening anymore
Personally, I think playing travel lax in 3rd grade is fool, but it feels like that is where the MD game is going.
