When families reach 7/8 grade they start to see the better players funnel to those programs for visibility and HS. There is a correlation between HS and those teams. Igloo is fine at the younger ages, but there is an inevitable shift at that age. If you don’t believe me or the others saying the same, watch what happens to the 2029 WS Team next week. When tryouts are done, their better players will have moved.

Also not true. NLF isn’t everything and Igloo kids have no problem going to some of the best colleges too without leaving the org. Express and 91 “need” this to be true to keep raking in $$$ but anyone paying attention knows it’s not the only path.
