The best girls in 7th grade now will not be the best girls in 11th grade. Some of the best girls will be starting to play this year. Coaches take strong, fast, and tall girls and spend the time to develop stick skills. A tiny 7th grader with great stick skills will no longer get to goal. I don't care how many privates she did or clinics she went to. Goalies catch up, defenses get better, and speed and size will rule in the years to come. It doesn't matter what team wins in 7th grade. If you could predict how these girls will grow and develop, then recruiting rules would have stayed the same forever.
