for the younger ages it is probably 1/6th of team, bet coach is kicking herself for some of those picks.
We'll have to wait and see this summer which comment is more accurate. Keep in mind, that there has already been a lot of grumbling on the sidelines of the 6th and 5th grade practices about kids that are there for the wrong reason.


Too funny ,a lot of grumbling. Go talk to the coach of the 5 th grade top team. She is thrilled with the level of talent on that team from top to bottom and politics seems to have played no role at all.Agreed 6 th grade group seems like some towns are unfairly represented and they have way too many kids .If you are thinking that the lower level team is going to beat the top team this summer you ate really sad, not going to happen but good luck to your team, you will need it.


What do you expect her to say? Of course she will say that, any good coach would. The fact remains that it is obvious to all, who should not be on team. You are right when you say talent dropoff is steep on remainig teams, picture yourself in those parents shoes. Not pretty. So the girls will practice hard and compete harder, because someone says thats why they weren't chosen, but we all know that is truly a false statement. Another comment was about aggressiveness, that will get you so far. Watch how many fouls will be called on your so called aggressive kids. Good luck to the girls and better luck to the ones who truly should be here.
It’s the Friends and Family plan, get used to it. Just look at the weakest line of each team and you can see which kids don’t belong. Then you match them up to who is a friend or who is family. If it bothers you that much, say something to the parents or the coach, because posting your complaints here in an anonymous chat room is a waste of your time and everybody else’s time. Lets’ move on, because I just wasted 2 min of my time on this stupid topic.
