But, last year there were a few 97's that played in 14U tournaments that the 14's looked more like allstar teams and not competitive teams. Some of the 97's played just so they could boast that they did it and not because they could compete against most of the 14's.
Good luck to everybody and remember, it's for the girls not the sucky parents!!
Very good statement. 12u should play 12u, then if the competition level is not there then play GOOD 14u teams. We will see in a few tournments whether the competition is there are not, and who is the competition this Fall. It will give a good idea of what is to come in the Spring . I feel the, so called, top 12u teams will fine the competition alot stronger than they think it is.

What is this a 97 thread ? There might be to many 98 teams in the championship games for your liking as well ! Before it is all said and done !

I am sure it will happen on occasion...that is, that a true 98 team will be in championship play but I would not get your hopes up too high...

Already hanging with the top 96's (and even beating them) all last year...
Goal is to make a really strong showing at 12U ASA nationals in 2010...
Strong competition makes you stronger....
Why NOT? No insult to the 98 teams and even other 97 teams. Just what's best for YOUR team. Can't imagine how that can be interpreted as hiding from the other 12U teams.
