There is a difference between "2018 girls aren't girls aren't doing any fall tournaments" and " only 2018 black are doing a fall tournament". It's not the point of being left out. It's the point of being lied to. Just tell the parents that we are sending the black team somewhere and the rest are staying home. Maybe find a smaller or local tournament for the other teams to play in?
I'm not in the 2018 group so I don't know who was told what, or if anyone was lied to. If so, obviously that wouldn't be right.
Please be realistic. Theblack team is the only team that deserves to attend any of those tournaments and the white and purple teams are there to cover TG costs. YES the black team will be treated different and will attend the best tournaments and YES the white and purple girls will pay the same amount of money to be on TG (excluding an extra tournament fee) and YES the Black team will have access to more opportunities. Purple and White parents, that is what YOU signed up for so dont blame anyone. Enjoy the fall daddy tournaments and hopefully you wont be excluded from those! And dont complain - nobody really cares since your check already cleared.
My daughter just finished playing on TG 2015 Purple. My daughter was one of the bottom half of the roster players on that team. We went to the November tournament's in 2012 & 2013. Back then the recruiting was not as crazy as it is now. I can tell you that in 2012 when they were in 10th grade not many college coaches watched the B team brackets. Most of the coaches were swarming the sidelines of all of the top programs A teams . I remember seeing them 2 deep watching TG , YJ, SW, MD ..... Last November most of the Purple team was heavily recruited . Since recruiting has jumped up a year B team players on the 2017 B teams should be getting looked at. If you are looking to be recruited as a 2018 some coaches may take a look at A teams but B & C are a year away. IMO
