NorCal Tryouts For 12U

[2face]

What 12U 99 teams are going to be worth attending there tryouts in the Fall?

Are any of the strong teams holding Tryouts or just keeping there teams from summer?
We already know that the 12u softball community has become watered down. Every dad wants to have a team!!! We know everyone is looking for that great player in 99, but if they are already on a good team why would they leave?
I have heard of one shake up with Cal Breeze 99 who will soon be with a new organization based out of Roseville called TEAM CALIFORNIA coached by ex UCLA player Lyndsey Klein. That could shake things up in the Sac area with teams like Mizuno AA, Rocklin Hype and the Heat.
Down in the Stockton area it looks like Norwood will be right back at the top of conversation. She has to put together an entire new team of 99's. We all know she loves girls with talent, so where will they come from? All of the good ones are already on good teams. Plus with all of the controversy her team had this year will it happen ?

I think Norwood will have no problem attracting talent to her 12u team. Just because all the talent is on teams already, doesnt mean that they are happy with there current team. There will be that shuffling going on. And you know, once one leaves others follow.

How many true 99 teams where there in 12U. Breeze99, Mizuno AA99, Dirt Dogs99 and RR99. Thats all I could think of but there could be more. I wonder if any of these teams are having try outs.

I to agree with lookingin both of these organization have fielded team every year and will continue to do so in the future. Sarah is a very good coach and has always done a great job teaching softball and life to her players. As for the Breeze 12U-99 team that organization will produce another good team just like in prior years. There is always change and player/parents are always looking for greener pastures and a free ride. In my years I have seen only a few teams loaded with the elite players accomplish everything they set out to. Can anyone say Miami Heat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that Norwood will attract talent because of her reputation. I have seen her in action and she has alot of knowledge to offer the girls. It looks as though the 12U teams will have to go through RR Gold next season just as it did in 10's. The coaches have done a great job with that team and they have most of the TOP 99 players. The question is will they stay or go? We all saw what happened to Norwood this season. OBS Monarchs will also be returning some good 99's, just not sure what he can pull together. I have heard the AASA might be back with EB Vipers? It seems like a lot of the Fall Tryouts will start the same weekend, that will be tough to decide where to go.

Not sure where or what AASA will do for the 12U. It was sad to watch a team with this much talent and potential fall apart the way they did not having anything to do with the players.

oth6...... I'm not in the know about the 10's but did something happen to the AASA 10s?

[oth6]

They have lost about half of the team due to parent/coach conflicts

parent/coach conflicts

Does not surprise me! That coach is out of control!!!
If you cant play for him, you should go play soccer!

I think most of the top 99 teams will be looking for at least one or two new players.

There are also a number of 99 teams out there that are pretty good this season, but IMO are about 2-3 players behind (talentwise) from the top 99 teams. With all the rumors of shuffling going on, you could see those teams pick up a few new girls and become real contenders in the division.
