Some people on other teams can make these teams. They choose not to for many reasons. Location probably being the main one. Get over yourself, we are talking about 9 and 10 year olds. AND, I guarantee the lip flappers here are talking about their oldest child. So much physically will change in the next 3-5 years its insane. Your kids that have been practicing 3x a week for 50% of their lives also might, just might, not like it as much as you. Not even talking about the repetitive injuries. But its about you anyway so who cares!
