Are we seeing a shift???

Any help besides "your fee for the honor of buying / wearing our uniform is..."

How about practice planning, skill development, clinics, practicing with older teams, etc.

Currently, the notion of education & getting better is an 'every man for himself' proposition.

Here in SoCal where we have tons of teams there are really 2 levels of completion in TB. I say the more the merrier, what if 2 or 3 of those girls who get on a "brand name" org turn out to be superstar D1 kids ? If I'm not mistaken 75% of ASA girls don't play past 12 nationally so if it takes TB teams to help expand the sport so be it IMO. Besides when they get their butts kicked by established teams & the parents & girls want more won't a good coach seek help from the the org ? Wont he/she try new things, seek to give more knowledge to the girls thereby making the sport & area stronger ?

PJ, expanding the sport is just a bad idea. And these big name groups? WTH? Who do they think they are...taking on more and younger teams? What a travesty!!!
