If "A" team you mean a legit travel team yes. Are there a couple of "A" teams better ? Yes, there can more than 1 or 2 "A" teams. I would classify an "A" team as one that will beat most town teams, and will play in competitve games if other elite teams. Its good to have some rivalries fellas, but it is 4th grade, so lets not forget that along with winning, good sportsmanship, and having fun go hand and hand. We as parents should emphasize learning the game and sportsmanship on our end. criticising 4th graders as adults is insane, and it should be eliminated. so stop already. we all know who is a stonger team, lets teach the boys to be modest at the same time. your son will be better for it.
