Change is a constant in this game, but there is something to be said about teams that have played together for a while.
Which teams out there have rosters that have had at least 5 of the same girls playing together for at least 2 years?
Don't everyone answer at once.
NorCal
I started the OBS Monarchs in Fall of 2010. On that team,we returned almost the entire team from Fall to Summer, then lost much of the team to Graduation.
We Moved up several from 16u. That team in the Fall had 13 players, we chose to not return 1 player, and one player decided not to return. So out of 13 we returned 11. Out of those 11, 5 of those kids were playing for me when I was coaching the Grapettes 14u team 3 years ago.
We lost 0 players from our 16u team (we chose to not return 3).
I am already looking ahead to Fall of 2012 knowing we will graduate 5 kids from our Gold team and I know I will bring up all players from 16u to fill the roster knowing I will lose none. I will have room to add only 1 player for Fall of 2012.
It is rare for me to lose kids for any other reason than they were moving up in age group and i stayed down. Now that I essentially am coaching 16 and 18g, most of those kids that fill up our gold roster will come straight from the 16u team.
Nice knowing that our entire outfield, 1 pitcher, and our entire infield will be returning for Fall of 2012. if I lose 2 out of the entire group I will be shocked. I can usually predict with pretty good accuracy when a kid will be leaving.

KG Hitters Tracy is hands down the best 00' 12u team in norcal in regards to talented players. They will beat any other 00' team 8 times out of 10 on talent alone! A majority of those girls have been together for 2 full seasons and were well coached in 10u. Not so sure about the coaching staff now?

I agree 100% about KG hitters. They are the 00 team to beat!

Maybe the RR gold/miller team can give KG hitters a game at March 24 RR tourney right?
