Now that tryouts are over congratulations to everyone. Any big surprises though?
Biggest surprise was the amount of girls who showed up at Coppermine, Skywalkers and M&D tryouts. In hindsight, probably should have made that move in early middle school because it’s hard to get noticed with 70+ kids on the field
How many did each club add?
Would expect Skywalkers to add 2 or 3 to their numbers
Skywalkers Blue added 8 and white added 15
Both team should be good to very good.
From which programs did these 8 come from?
It’s all about development said No one from Skywalkers… ever. 20+ years of treating kids like a commodity. Go get ‘em.
Maybe true. But if you think any of the other top MD cups are developing kids after 5th grade, then you haven't been exposed to a top club.
The success of the top players at M&D, Heros, MDU, Coppermine, SW and many others has little to do with the clubs they played with in middle school and much more to do with their work off the field (wall ball, private stick work, strength and conditioning).
Little to do with the years of playing with teammates, playing time/reps and the coaching from their old club....good one!! Why even be on a club team in the first place, if there's so much success from the outside work?
