The coaches daughter and the group of friends that have all been on the top teams starts to corrode the teams that are politically put together. Sorry, if there is more than one or two kids from one town on an elite club's top team, something drastically wrong is going on. By far this is the most dramatic year for change. I got to ask, are you really bitter about how things turned out for your own child or is this just a friendly public service announcement? As a parent of three girls I would say 6-7 was the most dramatic change in attitude but not physically. 7-8 in our case but maybe we had late bloomers. Sorry about the A team though I'm sorry about the A team too. I have had several go through the travel gauntlet and all well past this age group. On every A team there are 6-8 players who flat out belong there. I feel very lucky to be viewing from that perspective, but believe it or not, the politics and shuffle is frustrating to watch as it does effect the entire team. I'm sure it is even more frustrating being a player whose placement is directly effected by the politics. Regardless, this is the age where all those political placed players jump off the page and frustrate people, including those who flat out belong. Consider it a public service announcement. YJs 2022 top team's performance this weekend reminded me of this post/ series of posts. Last year this team lost three games all season, this year they have lost three in one weekend. This will be the most competitive tournament of the year, team will feel better about themselves after winning a couple weak, watered down tournaments, but now you got a good idea where this team stands. Time to put politics aside at tryouts. What politics are you referring to? some players moved down and some moved up after this years tryouts..

Anonymous Unregistered A	Not looking for any sarcasm back, but this seems like a very "weak" thread compared to other age groups. Only 6 pages of comments and don't see much activity. I also don't see many programs with a team at this age group. Besides YJ, TG, Legacy and Elevate.....what teams out there will be competitive, even at the next level down?

The Connors are spending summers in Bmore. C2 isn't clearly at the top. They are one of the top 4. One isn't clearly and consistently better than the others.

They accept way more players at first open tryout to come play in qualifiers, to the go to a camp to then play on a team. Complete waste of money as the players at the end of it all from all the different regions are not very high caliber. It is a ton of time and money to be on an unimpressive list in the end. Go to a college camp of interest instead, money much better spent.

Me first parents love saying their kid was on team so they could charge whatever they want and still sell out Isn't it new to this age? Stick to camps not this. The idea is to move forward getting better. This promotes just games as there isn't supposed to be practices before hand. That is counter to everything at this age practice is more important. I saw the value for rising freshman, but nothing below, having a rising 7th or 8th grader on a team looks silly. Then I believe they just created the age bracket for that age... Be wary....and wise. I'd say skip it for 22/23. They added that group just to see a% increase over last years model. As a business smart move but for the sport and players I don't see the benefit!

Last year those two and Redshirts won everything. Redshirts broke up, but I still don't think anyone other than those 3 have won a tournament in the last two years unless they all weren't present.

Felt it isn't a waste of time or money, rather a great experience any way you look at it. It is not designed for recruiting at the Youth level. It is designed for the experience and exposure. Those knocking it so hard, I question if their player was cut and there are hard feelings.
