lets be accurate 2021 elevate blue sent 11 kids from last year down to 2nd team and moved no one up from b to a ...11 new girls this year ...a big shake up lets see how that works out..
Lets be even more accurate. They had 26 kids on the team last year. Th new roster is 22. So, of the 26, they moved 11 down wheich means they kept 15 of the top kids and added 7 new kids and based on the amazing talent at tryouts, adding 7 kids to the top 15 will make them even better. That is accurate.
Sounds great for Elevate, then why duck the competiton this fall? 2021 attending two local tourneys with no competition and avoiding the big programs by not attending Prime Time Youmg Guns, Lax For The Cure or T3. You you want to pound your chest about being one of the best teams in this age group, then show-up and play against the best. Are we going to hear the excuses again this year that the team does not practice much before the summer tourneys and we have to wait for them to gel and get results? You cannot have it both ways!!!
I don't think 6th grade teams need to be traveling in the fall when the real season starts in the summer. I think it's a lot to ask of people from time and from an expense perspective. Does TG need to go to NJ, MD, etc in the fall when those kids can stay on LI and lose to local teams? If they were really good it may make sense but the are no better than most of the local talent. Why put that on parents and kids at 11 or 12 years old. No need. Save your money - lose locally.
