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!!!
Summer is the big season, have your young kids play soccer, field hockey and basketball in the fall/winter. They'll benefit more. Fall club is important for Freshmen, Sophomores and unrecruited Juniors. They should be going to as many premier recruiting avents as possible. Running the babies up and down the east coast is as big a waste of team parent's money as running off to the U15 championship. Club is for getting recruited, why do you insist on committing money to events that do not further that objective? For bragging rights? Seriously?? Hiring a personal trainer if you can't help yourself would give you more bang for your buck at this age...though that's a waste too.
