No question, Freedom is a good club, as is BL. One of my sons is a 2023 elite level player and not currently on either team. He's planning on trying out for both clubs this summer, and depending on where he would feature, will go with that club. Having said that, if Freedom is pulling in ghosts from out of state (and I'll look into this) that will definitely impact our decision.
If anyone has any actual evidence of this please share. Thanks.
if you are truly asking, there is no comparison to the two clubs. Freedom is a well established club and will be invited to top HS tournaments. BL will not, that is just a total fact of life. These upstart clubs will not get the exposure that established club will.
How can you possibly make this ridiculous statement - upstart club? - apparently you were not at NXT for the BL/Freedom game.- and that is not meant as a dig at Freedom, they are a good team, but the results speak for themselves - and you can save the BL parent reply, no affiliation with BL
They are referring to the club as a whole which aside from 2023/24 BL is lacking. Yes the 6-4 and 7-5victories by BL at those age groups is nice.
Understood, but the idea that Freedom will carry any more weight with respect to entering a tournament lacks merit, we all know that most of these tournaments will take anybody that is willing to pay. I could at least understand the argument if we were discussing a HS showcase event that only takes a certain number of kids. In that instance, personal relationships between showcase organizers and club coaches can certainly make a difference getting a kid into a showcase.
