Yes these are the top four teams. we can argue all day who the next best four teams are. But everyone will agree that these are top four. Having said that I agree with post above that someone who sits on the bench for these four teams will probably sit on the bench for the next four best teams. The politics are the same if you play for team one or 8. The starters on the teams 5-8 are very good and most likely better than kids that don't see the field on the top four. I know last year bench players from the top four tried out for the teams many consider ranked 5-8 and did not make those teams and returned to sit on the bench for the top four team this year. It could be politics or maybe a bad tryout or they were not good enough but it is risky to move down to the next level of teams thinking it will result in more playing time.
