But as soon as 5th grade, every team will have every kid be able to catch and pass the ball. Then, you will need to be faster, quicker, stronger and more aggressive. Will this be true for this particular team in the future, who knows. Do they have have a better chance than any other team at this point? Probably yes, but future dominance is not certain yet.


Fair points, and I agree in general. But the kids on that team are also top-notch athletes, so as long as they stay together and practice together like they have been they’ll be the next Bandits or Crush (no, my son is not on the team but I have seen them play multiple times).
