Depends a lot on what roster is live for that weekend. More about reps and flexibility. The coaching is excellent. I'd be surprised if their youth teams do not develop well together as they age up.

Just my opinion, but how great a high school club team is for us is secondary after the flexibility.


The reason why 3d has offered you (and others) so many guest spots is because they are always scrambling to field a HS team.

Their 2016 team was terrible, and their 2017, 2018 and 2019 teams are worse. They have some good players, but half the roster is filled with guys who would never make a top tier team.


Look, if you have a high school son hanging on to the status of being on a good club team, sorry to burst bubbles but that means nothing to kids who are playing to get reps and get better. Our son plays 1 event last summer with Sweetlax as well. 3D has some top guys coaching and very good players who will also be very good college players want to get reps and want critical input from top coaches. We get both at 3D for a good price when our son wants to or can fit in tournaments with them.

Frankly he used to be on one of the three clubs debated here as the #1 for his class. Being on a good club team is fine until it isn't a fit anymore. 3D has a model to accommodate that. We're ok going home without a tshirt or a ribbon saying you won the Aloha or the Autumn tournament. Different needs is all. I
