People have no clue how big the gap in talent is between B and B plus teams to A. This won't be the first time parents think a B team can compete with the A teams after some changes were made to the B team. The jump can be made but it is very difficult to make it especially in just one year. Most older years have only 3 to 5 true A teams per year on Long Island. This year will be no different on how many true A teams it will have by 8th grade. One last note if your kid can't make an A team it does not matter. You will find that out in a few years kids get recruited from all teams A , B and even C and not all the kids on A teams get recruited. Don't worry about the label placed on any team. It has no meaning on how good any kid is on those teams.

What ones did they win ?
Town tournaments don't count



A brackets in B tournaments don't count. If your playing in B tournaments play up like the real A teams do!!!!



They lost in B tournaments last year. But this year they will be playing A bracket in A tournaments? Almost as miraculous a turnaround as Tornados! Can't wait to see them at LI LX FST.
