Younger kids play with friends, then as they get more familiar with club and take it more seriously, they start to matriculate to the better clubs. If you are saying the 7th grade wasn't that strong this Spring, which I don't know, I would be willing to bet tryouts are strong next year. Not abnormal for a consistently strong club to have some weaker squads certain years. I don't think this is an anomaly, and certainly wouldn't include anything 2024 into the discussion quite yet. I believe all teams above 7th grade could be considered top 10 teams, so probably wouldn't start sounding the alarms yet. [/quote]

Not sure about that. Their 2020 team is not very good anymore either as some of their studs left this year and they were replaced by average kids at best that were floating around on teams like Koopers and Lax World[/quote]

While that team is in the top 10 discussion, you can go back to your B bracket forum and complain about something relevant to your life, like doing a countdown to lax splash.
