SW’s allowing 29’s on the 28 team is probably a concession by SW leadership so they don’t lose additional kids. I’m sure the 28 team is thrilled to play with 6th graders. Unless 6th graders improve their team. Seems like they are trying to plug multiple holes on weaker teams before kids, parents, high schools, and colleges realize their talent pool is significantly damaged from the good old days.
All three of those girls start on the SW 28s and are key contributors. At least two of them would start on any 29 team in Maryland.
This has been SWs model for many years. Playing up against better completion is massive for development
That's actually a terrible model. Build a strong program at their own age level. Playing up isn't better for development, including social development.
So there are three 2029s starting on the SW 2028? I’m sure those 2028 parents just love that. This playing up stuff should be over before middle school for reasons stated above.
The 28 Skywalkers are not good. If their top players are 29s, that is even worse for their club.
Agreed, and as mentioned above, the 2029s have already moved back down. I watched them play indoor, and they are barely more competitive than they were before those girls returned.
