can someone provide some input as far as coaches go for these teams. are they invested and put the time in, good with the kids? good environment/families? i know throwing questions out like this can easily sink into a cesspool but i'd appreciate genuine feedback. i've heard some info from people i've spoken to but would appreciate more background.
recon (both teams) hitmen icon bluefish
Not likely you will get many constructive answers. Here is what I Have observed or heard .
Recon-fairly "new". Both teams are fairly competitive and the parents I spoke to at a tourney seemed happy. Hitmen- Not as competitive. Fly low on the radar. Don't hear much about them either Icon- there older teams are very competitive. The 2023's seem to be inconsistent. There was a mad exodus of kids a year or 2 ago. Bluefish- I didn't see them at many tourneys. I don't think it is an overly competitive team.
Woukd love for others to weigh in. Not sure they will because they aren't one of the top!
Hitmen and Recon tied a couple of times this past year. I believe both teams got solid talent at tryouts and both should be improving. Coaches for both teams are returning as well. Probably comes down to which practice facility are you closer too.
Icon not enough information
Bluefish - came out of the gate with a lot of teams their first year then all the younger teams started to look elsewhere. They still have younger teams but they're not competitive and often borrow kids from other teams. This depends on the team but I know the 2023 and 2022 team did this. Nothing wrong with it just stating facts.
Recon A team never played Hitmen, it was their B team that they tied, Recon A is a much better team.
