What is going on at 91 with this age group? Their 1 team that played on age lost 3 games by a combined 33-1. In a 7 team bracket, they came in dead last at 91’s own tournament. Did these parents pay $3,500 to score 1 goal in a tournament? Their other team brought in young 8th graders so now they cant even play on age in any grade based tourney. This age group is a disaster at 91 - but all you read about on this board is how great this group is and their #1 World Ranking - fake news at its best. If I was a 91 2024 Flash parent, I’d be looking for a refund and maybe looking to jump over to Venom.
What the heck is Venom?
91 had a great model early on with Hall of Fame Coaches and former MLL players. Unfortunately it’s tough to sustain since these guys only Coach their sons’ teams from start of travel through college commitment. 91 has gotten so popular that now they’ll let anyone Coach just to have a spot for those kids that don’t make their top teams. Also, at the older ages they would have 1 elite team that always played up in A brackets and a second team that played their age in A brackets. Usually that 91 B team was better than most other A teams. At this age, this model didn’t work: Wolfpack has had a Coaching carousel every year because their parents are narcissistic lunatics (read through this board) and the B team can’t score more than 1 goal in a local tournament but at least their parents pay full boat and get really nice gear.
