They split the kids up into AA/A and A/B (whatever they need to tell the kids and parents to make them feel better about spending $4500). They have 10-12 kids that are always on the top team... and 10-12 kids always on the second team... everyone else floats. Each kid is supposed to go to 3 fall tourneys.[/quote]

So what are the 3 tournaments that the top kids should be at for fall? And what are the 3 tourneys the 2nd teams top kids are supposed to be at?[/quote]

The A kids will play at TriStar, Elite tourney and NALF. Yesterday was the B team with 2 kids from the A team playing. The parents and kids all know which team they play on and which tournaments the kids are playing in. They all train together and scrimmage together. Say what you want but these are the facts.
The only time you will see all 40 play as a mix is at scrimmages like this past weekend. [/quote]

So why did 2 A kids play in the tourney yesterday?
I'm assuming the FOGO was one of the A kids. Who was the other? [/quote]

I'm not a coach so I don't know why they played. The FOGO and an attackman wreathe players though. The attackman only played in 1 game.[/quote]

There were a lot of the "A" team kids there. Just ask the 40 sets of parents on the sidelines.
