That being said, last years team was a joke. You had girls that could not catch or throw. It was a disaster. The MD American Select team got whooped. Embarrassing. And the coaches were awful. Just stood around.

Hopefully it will be different this year, and those selected deserve their spot on the team. Not because they are connected or need to have representation from 'B' teams...

I'm willing to bet if there are enough girls there will also be a second team (27s had two teams last year and looks like LI has 3 2028 teams this year). If there are 2, is one considered an A while other is considered a B? Or do they mix girls up. Hard to tell looking at the 27 rosters.

Red considered A and yellow B. There were definitely some surprises for 2027 last year. Hard to pick girls sometimes at a 4 hour tryout when most girls are hogging the ball trying to stand out. Good news is last years pick make it seem that at least the lower age groups it is not too political but AS coaches have a couple open spots for “coaches discretion” so expect this will be used on Heros girls if they somehow get overlooked.
