Yes, most teams will have 2 or 3 kids that don't make the age cut off, but that's not a deal breaker. The main point is that it's just too far and not worth the time and expense.

Re: Boys 2022- 7th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #183862 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A In my opinion, it seems to be more of a PR opportunity above a best of the best championship for the clubs. However, it looks like a wonderful experience for the kids.

As if $30k over 5/6 years of club lax isn't already a lot ? What's another $2k ? If u build it , they will come. Sorry to pull a baseball quote.

Clubs are trying to brand themselves so they can advertise that they are the best team. Should be an interesting year. Good luck to all the clubs and more importantly good luck to all the kids.

That's crazy Not True With travel off the island, hotels and everything that comes with it – easily. However, Cali or Texas teams like WCStars, $10G is starting point, from what I was told by a parent on such a team. Talk about traveling to tourneys and spending the summer going up the east coast.

Is this because of that Jr. Championship out in Denver. I also noticed they never seam to move kids up to the better team, they rather take new kids, just wondering.

Two teams is all about money. Nothing else. 91 is only team with two A teams. No one else even close.

Are actual rosters posted somewhere with names so you know who is actually on the team? A lot of teams are being put down right now but does anyone really know who is on each team?

Hard to believe they couldn't put an A team together. Either way I just wish people would stop bashing kids and teams before they even see them play. This year 7th-8th grade is the biggest physical change in all our kids. All the teams could be different come summer season.

They will probably all be A quality teams. In any event... please call the coach and get the full rundown. You should all have the fall schedule and winter plans by now.

This year 7th-8th grade is the biggest physical change in all our kids. All the teams could be different come summer season. I don't know about 150, but well over 100 kids were the the tryouts. I was told that there Elite team took the best kids from United and Smash and few from other teams. There second team will be an A team and be very competitive and well coached. At this age it is about the practices and coaching. No college is looking at a 7th grade kid.

Every team adds... it comes down to those who added players that will be on the field in the last 5 minutes of the game. I notice more and more that parents are accepting of what is now a High School mentality on these AA teams. In other words, some kids don't play in games at all in big games.
