Where are all the 10s? I know one 10u pitcher who is probably taking the weekend off.

Looks like you made an error WOH, you have Indy Crush listed in 12s and 14s. Or are there (3) 14u Indy Crush teams? Why would you water down your program by having (3) teams in the same age group?

12u looks weak. Should be an easy one for Indy Crush.

Indy Crush 2000 is playing up from the looks of it.

Gotcha.

Is that common? Can they compete? Do other teams do it?

[big blue nation]

Playing up is not uncommon. But this year very few 12u teams are good enough to compete.
From what I have seen of the Indy crush 2000, they can compete in 14u this year. They have played and beat or competed well with many of the entered teams so far this year in indoors and fall tournaments.
Hoosier storm 98 is probably the favorite to win this tourney coming off a strong performance at hse last weekend.
Good luck to everyone playing and hope to make it out to see some competitive softball.

I spent most of my Saturday watching the 12u. Wow! That Indy Gators 2000 is just dominating this one.

Nothing like a weekend like this to make up for taking last Sunday off.

Way to challenge and improve!

I think I will come down and watch some Fastpitch (as opposed to yesterday's slow pitch) in the 14s today.

My money is on Gators '99 Whitaker.

To answer your question about competing, yes, this team can and will consistently this year.

In response to BigBlueNation, I don't think there are any other 12u teams that can compete in the 14u tournaments. Not even the teams from the "region". Although, I am sure a few will try. Especially around the 2nd half of the season.

This weekend's finishes:
10u
1st) Indy Crush

12u
1st) IN Gators 2000
2nd Hoosier Crush

Saw some despicable coaching this weekend. Actually witnessed a head coach advancing on and threatening a 13 year old kid. Apalling. And no, they didn't toss him.
